Join the Harvard European Law Association for a talk by Professor Jan-Erik Schirmer on corporate climate governance a nd AI!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is affecting climate change – for better or worse. This is also evident in corporate governance: On the one hand\, legal designs that incentivize companies to use AI extensively and u ncritically pose significant climate risks due to AI's large carbon footpri nt. On the other hand\, when used purposefully\, AI can play an important r ole in effectuating corporate climate governance.
Globally\, framewor ks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) or the S EC's Climate Disclosure Rules are increasingly requiring companies to engag e in corporate climate reporting and corporate climate planning. AI can pro vide valuable support in all of this. Not only can it help companies to mor e efficiently and accurately disclose emissions and identify climate-relate d risks. AI can also reduce the information overload and help recipients to better process the information provided in emissions and sustainability re ports.
