Today the UK has awoken to a major shift in support for its main political parties following the results of the UK General Election. #Labour is returning to power for the first time since 2010 with a huge parliamentary majority of 174. The new government will bring change to the UK, particularly for UK investors and businesses. Regulatory reform, liberalisation of the planning system, nationalisation of the railways, changes to employment rights as well as further devolution of powers to enhance local infrastructure are all key manifesto pledges from the Labour party. The creation of a National Wealth fund and Great British Energy will also bring change to how the public sector engages with, and secures, private sector investment. As part of our Planning for Change series, each week we will be publishing a short summary of the key developments of the new government. Our Employment team’s new General Election Employment Tracker also analyses Labour’s employment policy commitments including its "New Deal for Working People". View here: https://lnkd.in/ea85aUmd Our latest Planning for Change podcast episode summarises some of the key findings from previous episodes and some of the takeaways from our recent General Election event with Paul Johnson CBE, as well as looking further ahead at the immediate aftermath of the election and towards the King’s speech.

LSE’s Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment 2024 snapshot of global trends in climate change litigation is a must read for anyone wanting to stay on top of global trends in #ESG disputes. What does it tell businesses and investors about ESG #litigation risks? Commenting on the report Kari McCormick, partner, says: “This latest report on global climate litigation trends provides a high level analysis of climate-related lawsuits worldwide including ‘polluter pays’ cases where parties are seeking to hold organizations accountable for alleged climate-related harm and corporate framework cases, which seek to ensure companies align their group-level policies and governance processes with climate goals. Climate-washing litigation, in which companies are accused of misrepresenting their environmental credentials, is also rapidly growing and it is noted in the report that the majority of concluded cases have ruled in favour of the claimants. This is something all corporates need to be aware of.” Louise Howarth, partner, comments: “In contrast to climate cases against companies for not doing enough on climate change mitigation, the report also discusses strategic litigation to inhibit climate agendas and ‘ESG backlash’ litigation which tends to focus on opposing ESG investing. The Report also explains the significant successes in ‘government framework’ cases which challenge the ambition or implementation of a government’s overall climate policy response. Although the report does identify that the amount of claims issued in 2023 is slightly lower than previous years we consider that in the coming months and years it remains likely that we will see an increase in both the variety and number of different claims brought against governments and corporates.” Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dEWNfK6j
