Net Zero Lawyers Alliance

NZLA Book Club: Five Times Faster

Please join us for a discussion of Five Times Faster with the author, Simon Sharpe.

About the Book: Five Times Faster is an inside story from Simon Sharpe, who has spent ten years at the forefront of climate change policy and diplomacy. He argues that in our fight to avoid dangerous climate change, science is pulling its punches, diplomacy is picking the wrong battles, and economics has been fighting for the other side. This provocative and engaging book sets out how we should rethink our strategies and reorganise our efforts in each of these fields, so that we can act fast enough to stay safe.

About the Author: Simon Sharpe is currently Director of Economics for the Climate Champions Team and a Senior Fellow at the World Resources Institute.

Framework for Net Zero Alignment

The Framework for Net Zero Alignment (“Framework”) provides guidance on the steps that commercial law firms (“firms”) can take to reduce their own greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, manage firm climate-related risks and unlock opportunities to facilitate the global transition to net zero. The Framework recognises the unique skills and positioning of commercial lawyers to accelerate the transition in ways that go far beyond value chain mitigation.
