Join LSCA at London Climate Action Week for the launch of our 2024 report!
We are delighted to announce the launch of our first-ever multinational report! Expanding upon our 2024 Law Firm Climate Change Scorecard, which grades the “Vault 100” firms according to their fossil fuels work, the full report includes additional U.K. and Irish firms as well as lessons from COP28 and recent innovations in both organizing and lawyering.
We welcome attorneys, students, organizers, and others interested in a climate just legal industry to join us in person at Maughan Library at 6 pm UK, or virtually at https://bit.ly/LSCA_LCAW2024 (10 am pacific / 1 pm eastern). LSCA leadership will present about the report’s findings, take questions from in-person attendees, and be available for networking and discussion from 7-8 pm UK.
“As we launch the Scorecard, we are more committed than ever to exposing the legal industry's role in perpetuating climate injustice,” said Sean Torres, a rising 3L at CUNY School of Law. “This year's scorecard, our most comprehensive yet, expands our scrutiny to the U.K. market and highlights incremental progress and ongoing challenges. Recent regulatory decisions, like FERC denying a hydroelectric project on Navajo Nation lands and New York’s Third Department halting a natural gas facility under the CLCPA, reflect the evolving legal landscape and a cultural understanding towards a more livable future. As regulations evolve to address the climate crisis, the legal industry must also change with the times for the betterment of our future.”
The Scorecard is available at ls4ca.org/scorecard.
