The response of individual banks and the wider banking industry to climate change is coming under increasingly intense scrutiny from policymakers, regulators, shareholders and other stakeholders, including non-governmental organisations and the general public.   Banks are facing a rapidly expanding body of laws, regulations and guidelines that require them to disclose detailed information about their efforts to decarbonise their operations and business models. In parallel, they are being challenged to verify and validate the sustainability of ‘green' financial products that they are developing to meet the needs of their customers around the world. As banks navigate this fast-evolving landscape, understanding and mitigating the risks of regulatory sanction and litigation relating to greenwashing and making potentially misleading claims has become a pressing priority for boards and senior management.   In the first in a series of podcasts exploring current and emerging developments shaping the future of banking, A&O partners Andrew Denny, head of the firm's Global Business and Human Rights Practice, and Matt Townsend, co-head of the International Environment, Climate and Regulatory Law Group, join Roger Lui, partner and co-head of the Global Bank Sector team, to discuss the most significant issues and trends that directors and senior executives should consider.

Today I welcome Jonathon Catlin and Benjamin Davis to discuss their work Theses for Theory in a Time of Crisis. Jonathon Catlin is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History and the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities at Princeton University. His dissertation is a history of the concept of catastrophe in twentieth-century European thought, spanning from the rise of fascism to climate change, with a focus on the writings of the Frankfurt School of critical theory and intellectual responses to the Holocaust. He has applied his critical work on the concept of catastrophe in public writings on the pandemic through a series of collaborations with Benjamin Davis published in Public Seminar, as well as an article in Memory Studies that interrogates the "multidirectional" memory politics of the Covid-AIDS analogy in an American context. Benjamin P. Davis is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics at the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics. His current research brings together human rights and decolonial thinking. It includes the articles "What Could Human Rights Do? A Decolonial Inquiry" (Transmodernity, 2020), “The Promises of Standing Rock” (Humanity, 2021), and "Human Rights and Caribbean Philosophy: Implications for Teaching" (Journal of Human Rights Practice, 2021). Outside of his work on human rights, his research considers the concepts of Édouard Glissant and Simone Weil with a view toward political belonging in the present.
