Nature-related risks and the Australian real estate sector – one step forward, two steps back
For companies in the Australian real estate sector engaged in land and housing development, biodiversity loss and decline pose financial risks, particularly transition risks associated with policy responses introduced to address these problems. In line with recent international developments, there has been an uptick in regulatory activity in Australia to pressure companies to identify, disclose and manage nature-related financial risks – includin…
Sustainable Finance and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence
This article examines accountability logics in two prominent regulatory interventions designed to integrate sustainability into corporate governance frameworks: sustainable finance and mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence. Having emerged in Europe, these interventions are now being considered and/or introduced in other jurisdictions, including Australia, as part of policy responses to global sustainability challenges such as cli…
Corporate net zero pledges
Corporate pledges to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions in line with the international Paris Agreement on climate change are proliferating around the world, including in Australia. Regulatory drivers include corporate law obligations to identify, disclose and manage climate-related financial risks, as well as a complex web of rapidly developing private regulatory initiatives. Non-state actors such as institutional investors, industry bodie…
A Conceptual Model for Climate Change Mainstreaming in Government
Mainstreaming' climate change by embedding climate change considerations in government policies, processes, and operations can bolster the realization of climate mitigation and adaptation goals and reduce risks of counter-productive actions. Some climate laws around the world now contain explicit mainstreaming duties, in parallel with emissions reduction targets and adaptation planning requirements. This article proposes a conceptual model for cl…
Integrating nutrition and obesity prevention considerations into institutional investment decisions regarding food companies
BACKGROUND: There is growing recognition that current food systems are both unhealthy and unsustainable, and are increasingly shifting toward the supply and marketing of unhealthy, ultra-processed foods and beverages. Large food companies hold substantial power within food systems and present a significant barrier to progress on addressing issues related to nutrition and obesity prevention. Institutional investors (such as pension funds) play a k…
Investing for a Safe Climate
Climate change is now widely recognised as a source of financial risk for institutional investors like superannuation funds, which may manifest as reduced asset values and investment returns. Investors are also facing increasing pressure to play a constructive role in society’s response to climate change by aligning portfolios to the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. This article presents an empirical study of current and emerging climate-r…
A "next generation" of climate change litigation?
Since conclusion of the Paris Agreement and the high-profile Urgenda case, potential new avenues for strategic climate litigation have received considerable attention in many countries, including Australia. Australia already has a substantial climate jurisprudence, primarily involving administrative challenges under environmental laws. This paper aims to examine the prospects for a “next generation” of cases focused on holding governments and cor…
