Abstract
Module 1: Introduction to Law and Sustainable Finance
This session will introduce the concept of sustainable finance and examine its links to law. It will consider: the role of law and markets in the evolution of sustainable finance; key actors and policy initiatives; the legal and market context for sustainability, encompassing fiduciary duty as a key factor; and the objectives of regulatory intervention. The approach aims to link with themes in corporate governance, capital markets law and financial regulation to provide a systematic and concise overview of the current position.
