Introduction—Corporate and Securities Law Responses to Climate Change: Law and Political Economy Perspectives

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Global warming not only poses an existential problem for humans and the natural world, but also a fundamental challenge for businesses and the laws governing them. While only a few years ago, the climate crisis was considered separate from—even irrelevant to—corporate and securities law, it is now an urgent subject in both fields. In this special issue of the Journal of Law and Political Economy , we present new research at the intersection of corporate and securities law and climate change. If, going forward, business and securities law evolves to ignore global warming’s risks for businesses and markets, this result will reveal the fields’ politicized, ideological parameters, not global warming’s irrelevance to them.
