Sustainable Finance and Climate Change explores the legal and regulatory framework that governs the transition to a carbon free economy, looking in particular at the regulation of the financial sector and corporate liability for climate change and biodiversity loss. In addition, it looks at the effect on general corporate law, environmental law, central bank law, as well as litigation and arbitration.

Key Features:

Discussion of the duty of societal responsibility in the context of corporate governance
Practical analysis of arbitration and litigation in the resolution of climate change-related disputes
Exploration of the role of investors in the new sustainable finance-related regulatory framework
Comprehensive examination of sustainable finance in South Africa
In-depth analysis of the role of law and regulation in providing sustainable finance by means of various financial modalities
Evaluation of the newly-established framework in the EU, including the Climate Law, the taxonomy and the role of the ECB as a monetary and supervisory authority
