Climate change is widely recognised as one of societys most profound challenges. In facing that challenge, the role of businesses is central. Corporations have a crucial role to play in mitigating climate change by reducing their net emissions and by driving the innovation and adaptation that are necessary to bring about a net zero economy. This volume brings together leading thinkers to evaluate the contribution that business law has made, and could make, to help drive such change. The contributions are organized under 4 broad themes: Climate Change Disclosures and Net Zero Commitments Climate Change: Exit or Voice Climate Change in the Boardroom Climate Change in the Courtroom
