Accounting for Sustainable Finance: Legislating to Advance Impact and Mitigate Greenwashing
细分领域
There is a significant role for academics to dissect the complex effects of laws related to sustainable finance, examining how different regulations integrate impact assessments, and understanding the broader implications of such laws on various professions including but not limited to accounting, finance, climate science, policy formulation, and research. Moreover, the creation and enforcement of taxonomies and the requisites for disclosure can be influenced by conflicting interests, leading to merely symbolic gestures from companies, investors, or policy formulators. The clear intention behind legislative efforts is to curb greenwashing; however, there is still limited insight into the motives behind company actions or those of sustainability service providers. We invite broad contributions in the broad field of legislation for impact measurement and greenwashing detection and mitigation.
