The sixth edition of the Virtual Legal Marathon on ESG is training Indian law students in climate law and carbon reporting. The program focuses on practical research regarding just transition frameworks and nature based solutions. Participants analyze real world ESG scenarios using international standards like ISSB and India's BRSR Core disclosure regime to prepare for the legal challenges of the climate crisis.

Focusing on BRSR Core and ISSB is the right move. The gap between policy intent and actual corporate reporting in India is still wide. Training the next generation of lawyers to spot the difference between compliance and actual impact is necessary.
True, but the article is vague on what these real world scenarios actually are. Are they looking at actual carbon credit fraud or just basic reporting errors?
Legal frameworks are fine, but they rarely address the physical reality of grid constraints. I wonder if any of these research reports touch on the liability of utilities when interconnection delays kill a project's financing.
Probably not. Most ESG marathons stay at the reporting level. It is easier to write a paper on a disclosure framework than to map out the legal risk of a failed transmission line buildout.
