In this podcast, the fourth of five sessions on Digital Contracting for Net Zero, CLI’s Distinguished Fellow, Natalia Crnomarkovic was joined by Alishia Ballantine and Peter Moulton to explore the limitations of current CLM systems in enabling Net Zero and how Next Gen contracting (aka Smart Legal Contracts) will uplift climate metrics capture and reporting across supply chains. 

Alishia Ballintine is a Legal Analyst with Stirling & Rose, a first-of-a-kind legal practice specialising in emerging technology and Peter Moulton is Co-founder and CEO of Sensand, an Australian Earth Tech company that is at the cusp of launching a blockchain enabled global carbon trading exchange.

Topics covered in this session included:

• Limitations of current state Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Platforms in supporting climate contracting, monitoring and reporting

• The evolution of contracts from static artefacts to dynamic Digital Assets (Smart Legal Contracts)

• How Smart Legal Contracts working with new platforms such as carbon trading exchanges promise to streamline the pathway to Net Zero

• How in-house lawyers can help prepare their organisations for DLT enabled Climate Contracting
