Description
Biodiversity and nature-related risks are increasingly recognised as material risks and opportunities for companies and their directors alike. Moreover, global and regional legal frameworks to disclose biodiversity-related risks are emerging and nature-related litigation is on the rise in many jurisdictions. This session explores these trends, and how lawyers can help clients stay ahead of the regulatory curve.
