What is sustainable finance?

“ESG” – a term used to cover a wide range of vital topics, including the climate emergency, biodiversity loss, human rights and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) – is one of the most frequently discussed topics in finance.  Governments are looking to the private sector to play a significant part in achieving their public policy goals, and financial institutions are now often criticised, and increasingly challenged in the courts, by a range of stakeholders – sometimes for doing too much, and sometimes for not doing enough.

This masterclass session will look at Sustainable Finance policy and regulation in the leading jurisdictions.  We will consider why governments are seeking to regulate sustainable finance, what they are trying to achieve, and whether their policies are likely to be successful.  We will refer to key issues and key pieces of regulation both for financial market participants and for corporates.

The session will be led by:
Alperen Gözlügöl, Assistant Professor of Law, LSE
Simon Witney, Visiting Professor in Practice, LSE
