Abstract/Description:

The effects of climate change are already being felt in financial markets. The role of the pension fund trustee is to mediate between its members’ interests and the opportunities and risks emerging in those markets. This chapter provides a nuanced and contextualised account of the legal and regulatory framework in which Australian pension funds, in particular, navigate this complex, contested, and uncertain environment.
