Abstract:

Climate change is widely recognized as one of society's most profound challenges. In facing that challenge, the role of businesses is central. Corporations have a crucial role to play in mitigating climate change by reducing their net emissions and by driving the innovation and adaptation that are necessary to bring about a net zero economy. This volume brings together leading thinkers to evaluate the business law that has made, and could make, to help drive such change.
The contributions are organized under four broad themes:

Climate Change Disclosures and Net Zero Commitments
Climate Change: Exit or Voice
Climate change in the boardroom
Climate change in the courtroom
