I've been exploring how AI is likely to disrupt civil society. From this, I've gone back to explore the seminal paper "What's your endgame?", which was published in 2015 in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. I've started to rework the paper and am sharing an early version here in the hope of eliciting feedback and collaboration on how this thinking might move forward.

I was recently interviewed by the co-lead of Headland Consultancy's climate & nature practice, about how the law is scaling climate solutions and the opportunities emerging from the political backlash against climate action.

Fostering non-contentious legal work can drive systemic change, unlock hidden leverage points, and amplify climate action throughout the economy. Recent developments in non-contentious climate legal work, from mapping the field to demonstrating its real-world impact, show the significant opportunity this area holds for accelerating the climate transition.

The need for climate action in shipping doesn’t vanish with a regulatory delay. It becomes more urgent. The question is: how can the industry, which accounts for around 3% of global emissions, continue to make progress while regulation catches up?

As the urgency to address climate change and biodiversity loss intensifies, organisations worldwide recognise the power of contracts as a tool for transformation. In 2024, The Chancery Lane Project saw a significant acceleration in the adoption of climate-aligned clauses – this movement is gaining traction, ensuring that economic activity aligns with global climate goals.
