Whether influencing government policy or managing their own plastics use, lawyers can help reduce environmental damage in a wide variety of ways

This NLJ digital supplement, now available online, covers a range of topics including the importance of office air quality, some of the small steps lawyers can take to make a big difference overall and why there are some reasons for optimism on climate change.  

IEMA chief policy advisor Martin Baxter and non-executive director and barrister Safia Iman consider how government can be kept to account on net zero carbon targets, while the Bar Council’s Sam Mercer sets out how chambers can do their bit. Jim Haywood from the Legal Sustainability Alliance presents six ways lawyers can help the environment, whether fighting legal cases, working pro bono for an environmental organisation or taking fewer flights.
