While at COP27 Nina worked alongside the International Bar Association, American Bar Association, Brazilian Bar Association and the Law Society of England and Wales to collectively host a conference which unveiled a global committee of bar associations to coordinate conversations, assemble best practice examples, and examine a lawyer’s duties when advising clients on climate-related issues. They also organised an official side event examining the legal sector’s role in tackling climate change. She participated in a panel unveiling an initiative to develop a toolkit for investment in Africa’s transition to net zero and co-hosted the final High Level Plenary during COP27’s Climate Law and Governance Day alongside Steven Gray, Legal Director, DLA Piper.
