Samenvatting
this contribution explains how private law can and should play a role in the sustainability debate and the sustainability transition.
Whereas some defend the view that sustainability should be reached via public law rules, the view is defended that private law (contract law, law of obligations, corporate law, ...) allows for economic and financial activities and makes them enforceable. Hence if, as claimed by different scientist, economic and financial actives are causing the sustainability challenges our society is currently facing, private law is co-culprit.
