Climate clauses—The Chancery Lane Project

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.
