This report represents a high-level summary in a plain-English format of the detailed legal analysis contained in four country papers produced by the CCLI on directors’ duties and climate risk in Australia, Canada, South Africa and the UK. The analysis is undertaken at a high level, focusing on areas of commonality, and does not purport to provide a comparative or exhaustive examination of the relevant laws in the four jurisdictions. It provides an overview of the conclusions that are substantively mirrored across each jurisdiction and identifies material divergences.
