Construction and The Climate Podcast
In this podcast, Camilla ter Haar and Ruth Keating, barristers at 39 Essex Chambers, discuss the key climate change issues relating to the construction sector.
The built environment and construction sector accounts for 38% of global carbon emissions and it has been estimated that globally every week we build the equivalent of a city the size of Paris. The building sector is therefore well-positioned to have a significant impact on emissions reductions – future legal requirements and case law will reflect this.
This podcast focusses on what the trends in climate change related litigation, legislation and guidance mean for our construction sector clients.
