The Climate Change Committee's latest report is, in its own words, "about hope, not fear", focusing on solutions rather than risks. Better cooling, flood protection, and a more secure water supply are identified as three solutions that would take the largest chunk out of what needs to be done for effective adaptation. Some recommendations to the UK government include: supporting nature to adapt, understanding risks to food security, and adapting infrastructure to avoid cascading disruption. [Read more]
Few systems shape business behaviour more consequentially than contracts. TCLP Labs, launched by The Chancery Lane Project, is built to make that leverage work for climate. The platform gives lawyers, procurement teams, and sustainability professionals tools to create climate contract skill for Claude, analyse contracts for climate-aligned language, benchmark contracts against Global Reporting Initiative standards, and align contracts with SBTi frameworks.

You cannot act on what you cannot track. So Fairphone assessed 23 minerals using the SBTN framework - combining with LCA and direct supplier data - to discover which extraction regions and component manufacturing stages carry the highest risk to nature. In 2025, they extended the same methodology to identify priority materials, geographies, and ecosystems where action is most needed. It's an inspiring reporting approach that could help you prioritise action, respond to regulation with confidence, and make compelling case for change. [Read more]
