This event will bring together experts from across commercial legal practice and academia to provide insights into: · The intersection of climate change and human rights, including international developments, with a specific focus on the dynamics in the United States (including current constraints, federal and state splits, and key drivers). · The role of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and other key reference points. · The intersections and impacts of mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence legislation, climate transition plan requirements, public and private procurement requirements, institutional investor expectations, and other emerging trends. · How corporations are operationalising the UNGPs and other rights-based frameworks, key challenges, and what best practice looks like.
