The Centre for Climate Engagement is partnering with Clyde & Co to host three roundtable discussions on legal issues related to sustainable finance. This is the second event in the series, and will focus on greenwashing.
During this roundtable, we will discuss the extent to which investors may be exposed to liability risks from greenwashing, and how litigation in this area might impact the financial sector's broader transition to net zero. We will also consider how investors could use legal action to hold companies and other organisations to account on their climate-related claims, and how this landscape might change with the introduction of regulatory mechanisms aimed at addressing greenwashing (including green taxonomies, discussed in the previous session).
In addition to any other next steps decided at the discussion, the Centre for Climate Engagement will produce a short written piece based on the discussion. Each event in the series will feed into a longer report to be published at the end of the year.
The final roundtable of this series, which will focus on how investors' fiduciary duties intersect with climate change, will take place on 5 June.
If you have any questions about this discussion or others in the series, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Nick Scott, Manager for Law & Climate Action, at nps32@hughes.cam.ac.uk.
