2/ Carbon Tracker assessed 30 of the world’s largest upstream oil & gas companies against 6 critical metrics. The verdict: - No company is Paris-aligned - Many are backsliding - Some are locking in long-term fossil growth

BREAKING: @Ls4Ca released their 2025 Law Firm #Climate Change Scorecard. The legal profession is complicit in climate destruction—and young lawyers are fighting back. A thread with key take-aways & why its findings are so timely. 🧵 Read the report: bit.ly/2025Scorecard

2/ Between 2020–2024, Vault 100 law firms:        - Took $35.8M in fossil fuel lobbying fees        - Facilitated $2 TRILLION in fossil fuel transactions       - Conducted litigation that 88% of the time worsened    the climate crisis

3/ In 2024 alone, London-based firms facilitated $59.84B in fossil fuel deals. Yet many still market themselves as climate champions. This is cognitive dissonance and young lawyers aren’t buying it. Blowing up your own pipeline of talent much?

4/ Slaughter and May say: “Sustainability is a whole business proposition for us.” Yet they facilitated $153M in fossil fuel transactions in 2024. Words matter. But so does the work.  Greenwashing is not great for retention.

5/ The data is damning: - 71% of  #Vault100 firms got a D or F - 80% of  #MagicCircle firms also failed   Change is coming. It’s not just about lawyers refusing harmful work. Now it’s about holding firms accountable for taking it on.  After all, it is a choice…

6/ Find enclosed a Counsel Opinion: Lawyers have the right to refuse fossil fuel work, whistleblow, and protest on ethical grounds.  If magic circle firms won’t lead, your staff might soon exercise these rights themselves.  #FutureOfLaw  bit.ly/LAR-objection

7/ Lawyers Are Responsible has written to  #MagicCircle firms as an act of care - the climate science is harder to ignore. The risks have been laid bare. Legal ethics demand serious reflection on the consequences of fossil fuel work. bit.ly/LAR-letters

8/ For those seeking guidance on navigating this critical decision we invite you to explore our worked scenarios, which demonstrate how this Counsel Opinion applies to everyday client interactions. #Fossilfree  bit.ly/LAR-scenarios

9/ In 2024, global temps hit 1.62°C above pre-industrial levels. UNICEF warns 1 in 5 children now live in climate-stressed zones. Extreme weather is rising. Lawyers in regulated professions must reckon with this, not just as citizens, but as custodians of the #RuleofLaw

Global insurers like Allianz, AXA, Aviva, Zurich & Intact are fueling climate chaos and profiting from the genocide in Gaza. It’s time to #BoycottBloodyInsurance - read the new report & pressure your local institutions to DROP these insurers now. 📖 boycottbloodyinsurance.org/reports
