Sustainable Transformation of Business and Finance:
A Challenge for Collective Action and Democratic Governance in an Age of Climate Change and Artificial Intelligence
Montréal, 1 June 2023
On June 1st, 2023, the McGill SGI Transformative Business Law Summer Academy [TBSLA] concluded its session and presented its 2023 Impact Paper, "Sustainable Transformation of Business and Finance: A Challenge for Collective Action and Democratic Governance in an Age of Climate Change and Artificial Intelligence". Corporations are among the dominant contributors to climate change and environmental degradation, but at the same time, they can become champions to turn the ship around. The 2023 Impact paper offers concrete policy recommendations and puts forth several avenues for a just global business transition which takes into account climate justice, more meaningful transparency, and algorithm accountability.
