Climate clauses—The Chancery Lane Project

Copyright © 2026 LexisNexis

The Chancery Lane Project (TCLP) is the focused and collaborative effort of a global network of lawyers and business leaders to develop new contracts and model laws to combat climate change across a number of jurisdictions.

For more information, see chancerylaneproject.org. LexisNexis® is proud to support the work of TCLP.

This subtopic makes available, with the permission of TCLP, a number of clauses from TCLP’s contract climate playbook across a number of different jurisdictions in areas such as corporate private M&A transactions, private equity and investment transactions, capital market transactions, as well as for inclusion in constitutions, board minutes and shareholder resolutions.
