Our joint initiative on risk and resilience
The Initiative on Climate Risk and Resilience Law (ICRRL) is a joint effort focused on legal efforts on climate risk and resilience.
The consequences of climate change become more visible with each passing year. ICRRL drives the recognition of climate risk and resilience through legal innovation, scholarship, and practice.
