A timely guide to the growing and fast-changing body of sustainability law in mining and energy, this book navigates the increasingly complex picture as the world struggles with the energy transition and climate change. John A.P. Chandler explores how companies, many of which produce environmental, social and governance (ESG) reports, can deal with heightened regulation as well as reporting and disclosure requirements for climate change and sustainability risks.

Key Features:

Examines the role and development of mining and energy regulators
Reviews ESG reports from various companies across the industries of oil and gas, renewable energy and mining
Compares the rules of sustainability governance, including directors’ duties, in Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA
Analyses environmental and development approvals required for mining and energy projects in the USA, Canada and Australia
Provides detailed guidance on sustainability governance, company law, reporting and disclosure including new accounting and disclosure rules in the USA, Australia, Canada and the European Union

Sustainability Law in Mining and Energy is an essential tool for energy and environmental lawyers, company executives, and directors in governance, regulatory approvals, reporting and disclosure. Its unique insights will also greatly benefit government officials and regulators, as well as students of energy and environmental law.
