‘This book discusses the impact of the currently severe climate change and biodiversity losses on the regulation of the financial system and the drive towards sustainable finance. It provides an in-depth analysis of the role of law and regulation in providing sustainable finance by means of various financial modalities, the duty of societal responsibility in the context of corporate governance, the role of investors in the context of the new sustainable finance-related regulatory framework, the related newly-established framework in the EU – including the role of ECB as a monetary and supervisory authority under its mandate – as well as in South Africa, and, finally, the significance of arbitration and litigation in the resolution of climate change-related disputes.’
