Integrate free climate training into your learning management system

Deploy across your legal team with no new software, no extra logins, and complete scalability. 

Legal teams are under increasing pressure to understand and respond to climate risk, yet embedding that knowledge consistently across an organisation remains a challenge. Our Climate Contracting in Action training course has been designed to meet that moment, not just as a learning tool, but as a practical, scalable solution that fits directly into the systems legal teams already use. 

As a free, SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)–ready programme, the course can be seamlessly integrated into existing learning management systems (LMS) without requiring new software, extra logins, or complicated setup. In a single deployment, organisations can make climate training available across their entire legal team, embedding it into everyday learning and development. 

How it works in practice

From a technical perspective, implementation is straightforward.

SCORM is an industry-standard format that enables learning content to run on most LMS platforms. Once uploaded, the course works entirely within your existing system, no extra software or logins required. This allows LMS teams to roll out training at scale, track individual progress, and integrate the course into onboarding, continuing professional development (CPD) programmes, or wider development pathways. Just as importantly, it allows organisations to revisit and refresh the training over time, ensuring that climate knowledge evolves alongside changing expectations. Embedding training within an organisation’s LMS changes the dynamic of how learning is delivered. It enables structured, self-paced learning that reaches everyone, creating a shared baseline of understanding and supporting more consistent decision-making. Climate knowledge is no longer an optional extra but part of the professional toolkit. 

Upskilling your team

Across the legal sector, expectations are shifting. Clients are asking more of their advisers, regulators are raising the bar, and counterparties are becoming more attuned to climate-related obligations. Awareness alone is no longer enough. Legal teams are expected to translate climate understanding into the decisions they make and the transactions they structure. For legal teams, the question is no longer whether to engage with climate risk, but how to do so consistently. Isolated learning moments can raise awareness, but they do not create the shared baseline needed for confident, aligned decision-making. Without that consistency, application remains fragmented. The priority is building capability across the entire team.

The course reflects the realities of modern legal practice. It has been developed for lawyers in private practice and in-house teams, as well as professionals who regularly work with contracts and transactions. Wherever commercial relationships are being negotiated or managed, climate considerations are increasingly present. This course helps teams recognise and respond to those considerations as part of their day-to-day work.

Participants who complete the course receive a CPD certificate, with organisations sharing regular completion lists so that certificates can be issued directly. Because the course sits within the LMS, progress and participation can be tracked alongside other internal training, giving organisations clear visibility of engagement across their teams. Embedding training within an organisation’s LMS enables structured, self-paced learning that reaches everyone, creating a shared baseline of understanding and supporting more consistent decision-making. Climate knowledge becomes part of the professional toolkit rather than an optional extra. 

Built on practical expertise

Climate Contracting in Action was developed by The Chancery Lane Project in partnership with an expert learning designer, drawing directly on TCLP’s work at the intersection of law and climate action. That expertise has been translated into a course that moves from foundational concepts to practical application. Across six modules, participants are guided through the role of lawyers in addressing climate-related risks, the realities of climate contracting in practice, and the ways in which climate considerations shape transactions. The course also explores how climate clauses can be used across supply chains, procurement, finance, and governance, before turning to the question of ambition and how organisations can move towards more effective climate commitments. Each module is designed to support meaningful engagement, combining clear explanations with opportunities for reflection and knowledge checks. For those who want to go further, additional materials provide deeper insight into the topics covered.

Getting started

At a time when legal teams are expected to play a more active role in addressing climate risk, the ability to build a shared, practical understanding has never been more important. Climate Contracting in Action offers a way to do that consistently, at scale, and within the structures organisations already have in place. The course is free to access.
