There is no dichotomy between economic development and climate and nature protection. We are scaling finance, managing risks and enabling policy reform says Adv Thomas Clark (Laureate, CLG Global Leadership Award / General Counsel, @adb.org) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25

137 billion in climate finance were delivered by MDBs and @ebrd.bsky.social investments have been fully Paris-aligned since 2021 says Plenary Speaker Adv Michael Strauss (Laureate, CLG Global Leadership Award / General Counsel, EBRD) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

This is a pivotal time 10 years after the Paris Agreement -we need to focus on small farmers who are so affected by climate shocks. @ifad.org we are creating a climate window for climate adaptation for farmers says Adv Katherine Meighan (Chief Legal Officer) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

Amazing launch @cop30brazil.bsky.social of the @climatehughes.bsky.social Law and Climate Atlas applicable to Brazil and increased capacity from our fantastic colleagues from @demedglobal.bsky.social presenting their important work. @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

Building Capacity for Climate Governance and NDC Implementation - Why is strengthening climate law and policy capacity important in driving Paris Agreement implementation? What are examples, and what lessons have been learned? How can we scale up efforts? @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

We are carbon negative in Bhutan but we must still make NDC progress says Prof Dema Lham (Assoc Dean, Academic Programs / Assoc Prof, Jigme Singye Wangchuck JSW School of Law, Bhutan) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

We are going to publish the climate guide for lawyers that help us all to build a climate conscious legal practice says Adv Estelle Dehon KC (Senior Barrister, Cornerstone Climate / Laureate, CLG Global Leadership Award) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP

This is the perfect time to raise your skills and build climate law and governance capacity - it is an amazing area of interdisciplinary work turning you as a trusted advisor says Adv Done Yalcin (Senior Partner, CMS) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

You can build a new practice in a traditional commercial law firm because the future of finance, M&A and banking but even green steel or green aluminium is climate law says Adv Ilona Millar (Partner, Gilbert & Tobin / Laureate, CLG Global Leadership Award) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

There are incredible opportunities in the climate law space and through implementation of the guidance from the Advisory Opinions on climate change says Adv Claire Donse (Partner, DLA Piper) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30

Only by using the law can we really make a real difference says Adv Thomas Clark (Laureate, CLG Global Leadership Award / General Counsel, @adb.org) @clginitiative.bsky.social #CLGD25 #COP30 @cop30brazil.bsky.social
