Climate Change - Davis LLP
As one of the first firms in Canada to practice Climate Change law, Davis LLP is at the forefront of this emerging area. Our lawyers have a wide variety of Canadian and international experience ranging from regulatory compliance to project finance. We also have expertise in areas of renewable energy including wind energy, run-of-river hydro, LULUCF (land use, land use change and forestry), biomass and fuel-cell industries. We help clients navigate the evolving world of climate-change regulation and unlock opportunities in an increasingly carbon-constrained economy. Regulation and ComplianceConcerns regarding global warming are reshaping the business landscape. Initiatives at the provincial, federal and regional level have, or soon will, impose significant emissions compliance obligations on companies operating in Canada. At the same time, these initiatives may create opportunities for forward-thinking businesses that are in a position to capitalize on the new regulatory regime. Financial regulators are also placing increased emphasis on the disclosure of environmental risks posed by climate change and investors are scrutinizing such risks more closely. Our group can help you identify the potential impact of climate change initiatives and regulation on your business, highlight new business opportunities or potential risks, evaluate compliance options and prepare for future developments. Carbon FinanceThe sale of carbon credits and the leveraging of the resultant revenue stream is a powerful new tool for financing projects that help mitigate climate change. A complement to traditional sources of project finance, carbon finance can boost rates of return and make environmentally beneficial projects economically attractive. Our advisors can help you identify carbon finance opportunities, structure projects to create carbon credits, and negotiate contracts to maximize the value of those credits to your organization.
