Global Global Market Leaders Climate Change

The Chambers Climate Change research looks at an increasingly important area, recognising firms who advise clients on a range of compliance, regulatory, transactional and contentious matters as they relate to climate change, in both domestic and international contexts. A particularly significant area concerns matters of emissions trading, which includes assisting companies in adhering to carbon regulations such as the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.  The section also covers the legal issues relating to renewable and low carbon projects, which includes assisting with the development and financial issues attached to these ventures. In addition, featured practices are also likely to advise traditional marketplace clients on the risks and investment opportunities concerning climate change in corporate transactions, key issues of which include energy efficiency, supply chain issues, climate change adaptation and mitigation, due diligence and risk assessment.
