Urgent and Existential Threat – has the ICJ Advisory Opinion changed the legal landscape?

Six months on from the landmark ruling by International Court of Justice which declared climate change “an urgent and existential threat” has anything changed for lawyers, law makers and businesses? Has this opinion influenced corporate legal practice or shaped decision-making for firms or their clients?  What are the due diligence obligations businesses need to know about, and if the 1.5°C target is increasingly seen as unachievable, how relevant does it remain as a legal and policy benchmark? In this episode Amanda Carpenter does a dive on the impact of the ruling with guests from both sides of the profession: Estelle Dehon KC, Cornerstone Barristers and Shane Gleghorn, UK Managing Partner at Taylor Wessing.
