Pro Bono Climate Action: Accelerating the Transition to Net Zero through Legal Expertise

As the need to make the global transition to net zero becomes clearer, legal service providers have new opportunities to use pro bono work to support effective climate action. This interactive session explores how legal professionals can help manage risk, strengthen accountability, and drive systemic change through climate-related legal work.

Through rapid introductions, participant questions, a focused presentation, and a dynamic expert panel, attendees will explore practical ways to integrate climate work into pro bono strategies. Drawing on international developments, including the ICJ Advisory Opinion, participants will leave with actionable ideas for using pro bono to advance sustainability and support communities in the transition to a low-carbon future.
