BC-based legal group urges Canadian Bar Association to take climate leadership
A group of lawyers wants the Canadian Bar Association to adopt a climate leadership resolution when the organization holds its annual general meeting on Wednesday.
Lawyers for Climate Justice says its resolution urges Canada’s largest professional association for lawyers to consider climate impacts and climate justice when proposing future law reforms and educational programs.
The group, launched in Victoria in 2019, says all lawyers should take climate action, where appropriate.
It says lawyers should advise clients about climate-related costs and opportunities, work for reduced or no cost on certain environmental issues and make efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions in their own practices.
