This timely Research Agenda presents a much-needed legal perspective on interdisciplinary sustainable finance discourse to inspire and inform decision-making in future research and practice. Experts in diverse jurisdictions across Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania provide practice-oriented and theoretical contributions that interweave normative themes of justice, responsibility, purpose, meaning, pluralism and diversity.
Capturing the complexity of this emerging field, A Research Agenda for Law, Finance and the Environment addresses relevant financial instruments, institutions and legal interventions. Chapters cover key topics including the direct mobilization of green capital and facilitative modalities to enable systemic change and sustainable finance. The book also illuminates unconventional ideas and interventions that seek to disrupt established ways of approaching law, regulation and finance.
This vital Research Agenda is a stimulating read for students and scholars of environmental law, finance and banking law, climate action and sustainability, as well as international practitioners and policymakers seeking to better understand the field and improve their critical thinking and decision-making.
Edited by Megan Bowman, The Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London, UK and Laura Mai, Faculty of Law, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
