Climate Change: New Duties and Liabilities in Insolvency?

This project explores the impact of climate change and the necessity of implementing adaptation and mitigation policies on the duties and liabilities of directors, insolvency practitioners, and judges in insolvency and restructuring procedures. As climate risks grow in urgency, legal frameworks must evolve to ensure that climate-related considerations are integrated into insolvency processes. The project will provide a comprehensive analysis of existing laws, judicial decisions, and legal trends across several key jurisdictions: Africa (selected countries/regions), Australia, European Union, India, China, South America (selected countries), UK, USA, and Canada.
