Prof. Matheson Joins Expert Reference Group for Corporate Energy Transition Project

Professor John H. Matheson was invited and has joined the Expert Reference Group for the Australian Research Council funded Discovery Project “Devising a Legal Blueprint for Corporate Energy Transition.” This project will explore how corporate law mechanisms can incentivise improved climate risk management and the uptake of clean energy practices by Australian companies. Drawing on empirical data and comparative analysis of U.S. experience in this area, the project seeks to identify law and governance reforms to drive corporate energy transition in Australia. The Expert Reference Group is composed of distinguished corporate law, climate liability and corporate social responsibility experts in Australia, the United States and other relevant jurisdictions to guide the implementation of the project by validating findings, workshopping proposals and refining outcomes through peer feedback.
