This presentation was delivered to the Society for Corporate Law Academics in Sydney in February 2024. The talk presents the results of a working paper. The paper is the first in a series that seeks to better understand the role and influence of financial actors in the implementation of global protected area governance. By examining the nature and scope of corporate claims, and the extent of public reporting thereof, two tentative points are developed: first (1), for financial actors to play a more meaningful role in treaty implementation, closer consideration may need to be given to the language and goals of the regime; and, second (2), a greater emphasis on transparency and reporting, including up and down the corporate value chain, seems warranted. The results of this analysis forms the basis of further empirical work on how financial corporations respond to protected areas risk within their portfolios.
