About this listen

Is your duty of care climate‑ready? Extreme weather, shifting regulations and liability exposure are no longer environmental side notes – they're core to competent legal advice across a range of practice areas.

In this episode, Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, Senior Lecturer in Climate Law at the University of Edinburgh, joins host Becky Annison to translate climate risk into concrete legal duties and everyday practice decisions.

Navraj and Becky's conversation delves into the multifaceted impacts of climate risk on corporations – exploring the financial implications, the role of legal professionals and the evolving landscape of climate law. Their discussion highlights the necessity for companies to understand and quantify climate risks, the legal obligations that arise from these risks, and the importance of integrating climate considerations into legal practice.
