This is the first of a series of podcasts on the upcoming book entitled ‘The Law of ESG Derivatives: Risk, Uncertainty, and Sustainable Finance’ Routledge, 2023. The dual focus of the book on the roles of financial derivatives for managing ESG risks on the one hand, and sociological perspectives of ESG risks and uncertainties on the other, makes it ideal to discuss it with scholars, experts, practitioners, researchers and curious minds from Law, Business and Management, and Sociological Studies, and all those interested in how the ESG movement is expected to react to the public policy challenges posed by sustainability.
