Climate change risk
LONDON, Wednesday 4th December 2024: Global law firm, Clyde & Co, today publishes a series of industry and legal predictions for 2025.
Our predictions reflect on this environment and how the risks are likely to evolve in 2025. From the outlook for European energy security as we enter the third year of the Russia-Ukraine war, to the impact of geopolitical tensions on global supply chains, we look at how jurisdictions are responding to a more fragmented and volatile world. Elsewhere, we track the major regulatory developments and what actions businesses need to take to get ahead, such as the arrival of DORA and the UK’s Future Homes Standard which will bring about a step-change in domestic building and construction regulation.
Our key predictions are as follows:
- EU to accelerate renewable shift for energy autonomy in 2025: Agnieszka Kulińska, a Warsaw-based Partner, expects “Europe's energy security landscape will continue to be reshaped with the EU continuing to pivot toward renewable energy production.” The year ahead will see the continent make further progress on its “march towards energy independence.”
- Southeast Asia's legal reforms to further entice global manufacturing in 2025: Singapore-based Partner Ton van den Bosch says that “nations are enacting forward-thinking reforms to draw in global manufacturers looking for stability within the upheavals of international trade and intensifying geopolitical tensions.”
- DORA to revolutionise EU insurers' cyber resilience in 2025: Jan Spittka, a Düsseldorf-based Partner, puts forward his views that the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will “catalyse a shift towards greater transparency and accountability, as insurers will be expected to report major IT-related incidents with a level of detail previously unseen.” The Act will “ultimately raise resilience in the insurance industry, drive cyber innovation and, in turn, improve competition by harmonising the existing, disjointed frameworks across the region.”
- Future Homes Standard to drive UK's green property investments in 2025: Chris Leadbetter, also a London-based Partner, believes “the rigour of new regulations will challenge the industry while also opening the door to innovation.” He sees the new regulation as a symbol of “the UK's commitment to a greener economy and offers fertile ground for investments that echo this shift.”
With 68 offices around the world and over 3,000 legal professionals, the firm has a unique global perspective enabling it to advise clients on the growing myriad of interconnected and complex risks.
All partners are available for interviews on these subject areas, as well as other themes which will drive business and legal developments in 2025.
