What this is all about....
Welcome to this website. My name is Michael Rawlinson. I am both a barrister in independent practice (called in 1991 and became a KC in 2009) and an independent non-executive director of Mere Plantations Ltd, a company based in Cheshire but which has some of the largest teak plantations in West Africa. However, on this website I blog in a purely personal capacity on the law relevant to climate change and its mitigation together with climate-change finance (in particular the structuring of carbon offsetting). I will seek to add to this site regularly and, over time, to cover issues as diverse as the interconnection between climate law and environmental law, human rights law, mass-exposure torts as well as the nitty-gritty of legally growing, harvesting and offsetting the carbon sequestered from teak plantations. The blog materials you see here are taken from the Mere website https://www.mereplantations.com
