The Future in Law and Finance: AI and Sustainability

About

During the first part of this track we will explore what AI is, which impact it will have on (corporate) governance, the M&A practice, jobs and the legal profession (by a lecture and a workshop) and we will answer the question whether the AI Act, together with existing legislation on privacy and copyright, is sufficient to safeguard against risks of AI and what further measures or exceptions may be necessary.

In the second part of this track we will explain the structure of - and interaction between the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and give a high-level overview of the obligations imposed on in-scope companies. In addition to the basics, we will zoom in on the developments within the sustainable finance market and look at lessons learned about the application of the regulatory framework. We will discuss what forms of sustainable finance products are available against the backdrop of the Paris Agreement: how to finance the transition to becoming net zero in 2050. What is becoming the new norm?
