- [Navigate California laws using contracts](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/navigate-california-laws-using-contracts/) — Fast-moving climate regulation calls for adaptive guidance. Using California’s evolving climate disclosure laws as a case study, this blog explores why static interpretations quickly become obsolete, why process matters as much as content, and how AI can support speed without replacing human legal judgement. It also situates the California guide within a broader approach to building tools that can evolve alongside climate regulation.
- [Unlocking systemic change: The opportunity of uncertainty](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/unlocking-systemic-change-the-opportunity-of-uncertainty/) — As some governments retreat from legal frameworks, regulatory rollbacks create conditions for stronger action elsewhere. This "regulatory divergence" makes commercial contracts more important than ever for managing climate risk, as they're capable of hard-coding ambition into corporate activity. Ultimately, the uncertainty of the political-economic environment provides climate-law the opportunity to enable a bolder, more rapid climate transition, led by companies and their contracts.
- [Unlocking systemic change: driving sustainability through global supply chains](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/unlocking-systemic-change-driving-sustainability-through-global-supply-chains/) — Non-contentious law plays a unique role in governing supply chain activity. We’ve mapped the key legal levers and opportunities, from rewiring corporate governance to cascading climate-aligned and shared responsibility contracts, that will help drive sustainability through global supply chains. Explore our blueprint for scalable, replicable and ecosystem-led impact across the system.
- [Unlocking systemic change: mapping leverage points across legal education and training](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/unlocking-systemic-change-mapping-leverage-points-across-legal-education-and-training/) — This latest instalment in our 'Unlocking systemic change' series explores how legal education and training can foster climate-aligned practice. Drawing on our updated, jurisdiction-agnostic lifecycle map, it highlights the key leverage points, blockers, and opportunities across a lawyer’s development.
- [Our next steps in scaling the impact of climate aligned contracting](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/our-next-steps-in-scaling-the-impact-of-climate-aligned-contracting/) — AI is taking over the knowledge economy, from software development to the machinery of government, a fundamental transition is taking place. Our work is no different, and we’ve experimented to understand better how we can be part of this change. Now, we think we have an approach to ensure that we will deliver impact on a scale we couldn't have imagined even 12 months ago.
- [Unlocking systemic change: the hidden power of non-contentious law in the climate transition](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/the-hidden-power-of-non-contentious-law-in-the-climate-transition/) — Non-contentious law is emerging as one of the most powerful but overlooked drivers of the climate transition. Recent progress reveals an opportunity to engineer systemic change. This blog explores how strategic design, smarter funding, and shared ambition can unlock the hidden legal infrastructure needed for a just transition.
- [How contracts can transform deforestation regulation into climate action](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/how-contracts-can-transform-deforestation-regulation-into-climate-action/) — Our new deforestation-free supply chains guide translates the EUDR and wider business risks into clear, actionable steps. Created through cross-sector collaboration, it shows how contracts and due diligence can help organisations prevent deforestation, strengthen supply chain resilience and move beyond minimum compliance.
- [TCLP and TLT launch contract tool to combat climate change in the built environment](https://chancerylaneproject.org/news/tclp-and-tlt-launch-contract-tool-to-combat-climate-change-in-the-built-environment/) — TCLP has worked with law firm TLT to create a built environment contract solutions tool that will help those in property industry - from lawyers to surveyors - to navigate climate-aligned drafting.
