Om den här podden
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.
