Centre for Climate Law and Policy

The Centre for Climate Law and Policy (CCLP) is part of the ANU College of Law. It was established in 2007 with the objective of providing a focal point for law and policy research related to climate change. The CCLP also runs courses in climate law and provides consulting services.

FOUNDING SPONSOR


Baker & McKenzie is the global leader in the development of law and policy to meet the challenges in adapting to climate change. We were the first law firm to establish a climate change practice, more than 12 years ago. Our practice spans the breadth of the globe. We advise national governments, international organisations and corporations in developing solutions to climate change.

We advise on the development of carbon-trading markets, the design of emissions reduction and anti-deforestation schemes, on renewable energy projects, and building biodiversity and water registers to protect threatened habitats. We help ensure that approaches to meeting climate change are rigorous and market based, to ensure participation of all stakeholders. You can read more at Baker & McKenzie Australian Environmental Markets Practice.

We also work with market leaders on research projects to help inform developments in climate change and renewable resources, and regularly publish alerts on legal changes affecting the sector. You can read more at Baker & McKenzie Environmental Markets resources. We've also developed public resources such as the CDMRulebook.org, JIRulebook.org and the Emissions Trading and New Energy Law Guide.
