The Chancery Lane Project is a collaboration of lawyers from around the world to develop new contracts and model laws to help fight climate change.
The project helps lawyers create practical legal solutions to mitigate climate change using collaborative problem solving to rewire contracts and laws to create new market norms for lawyers and lawmakers to use.
