Environmental Regulation through Financial Organisations examines
in the industrialised nations the emerging role of banks, insurers
and institutional investors as organisations for articulating and
strengthening environmental law and policy. Taking a comparative
perspective of practice in the European Union, North America, Japan
and Australia, the book argues that existing legal reforms to
promote sustainable development are unlikely to be successful
unless environmental policy can be diffused and embedded in the
financial services sector. This sector plays a crucial role in
creating the financial conditions that allow much economic
development to proceed. Financial markets are already highly
regulated in pursuance of various public policy objectives, and
there is scope to adapt existing regulation to incorporate
environmental aspects into the financial services sector. In terms
of specific reforms, the book focuses on the role of corporate
environmental reporting, economic instruments and liability rules
to provide a proper context for engaging financial organisations
with the environment, as well as reforms to the system of
prudential regulation that currently governs this sector. Beyond
the focus on the financial services sector, the book raises complex
questions regarding the relationship between the state and market
institutions in environmental policy, and will appeal to scholars
from a wide range of disciplines interested in problems of
environmental governance.
