These cascading failures exposed how much of our infrastructure was designed for a climate that no longer exists. Climate risk is now systemic and simultaneous, challenging major areas of policy and investment such as  energy, water, transport, health and food. Adaptation is no longer a peripheral issue of "resilience" but a pressing agenda of infrastructure renewal . Lawyers will be central to this agenda — translating climate risk into enforceable duties, re-writing the contracts, standards and codes that govern infrastructure, securing the finance and consent pathways for renewal, and holding public and private bodies to account when adaptation commitments are made but not met. It presents an opportunity but also a significant responsibility. Sophie Hill, Climate Growth Manager, Ecologi  - Introduction to Ecologi: Our 3R Framework for effective climate action (Reduce, Restore, and Report) - Reduce Overview: Brief overview of what carbon accounting is and why it is important for law firms to measure their annual emissions - Restore: Nature vs. Carbon: An in-depth dive into nature-based restoration vs. carbon credits - weighing the pros, cons, biodiversity co-benefits, and greenwashing risks - Law Firm Use Cases and Reporting: Aligning impact with firm operations and having verifiable data for ESG disclosures and clients From Data Challenges to Employee Engagement: Building A Net Zero Journey In this session, Sally Redman will share the challenges of starting Landmark’s net zero journey, from collecting emissions data and navigating carbon reporting requirements to working with sustainability platforms that did not always deliver as expected. She will discuss how engagement was built across the organisation, the initiatives successfully implemented, and Landmark’ FY27 plans, including how we're using our knowledge and experience to support DASLS and its Green Badge Initiative. Key topics include: Challenges of starting a net zero programme from scratch. Lessons learned from emissions data collection and reporting. Navigating sustainability platforms and technology setbacks. Building colleague engagement and securing organisational buy-in. Sustainability initiatives delivered and their impact. Future plans and priorities for FY27. Supporting DASLS and their ...
