Devising a legal blueprint for corporate energy transition

该项目旨在提供一个法律的蓝图，利用公司法机制激励澳大利亚公司改进气候风险管理和清洁能源做法。企业是全球能源系统向清洁能源过渡和减轻气候风险努力的关键参与者。虽然这一作用得到了广泛的认可，但对能够促进企业能源转型的最佳法律的战略的思考仍处于起步阶段。该项目利用经验数据和美国在利用公司法工具促进气候变化方面的更广泛经验，计划发现公司能源转型的障碍，并确定使私营部门走上低碳道路所需的法律和治理改革。

This project aims to provide a legal blueprint for using corporate law mechanisms to incentivise improved climate risk management and clean energy practices in Australian companies. Corporations are key players in efforts to transition the global energy system to clean energy sources and to mitigate climate risk. While this role is widely acknowledged, thinking on the best legal strategies that could foster corporate energy transition is in its infancy. Drawing on empirical data and more extensive United States experience with the use of corporate law tools for climate ends, the project plans to uncover roadblocks to corporate energy transformation, and identify law and governance reforms necessary for putting the private sector on a low-carbon pathway.
