IV. Net Zero Legal Frameworks to Enable Climate Neutral Investment and Finance: Scaling up climate finance, investment, re-allocation of capital and sustainable global supply chains, and addressing fossil fuel subsidies, climate risk disclosure, a just transition and decarbonisation, especially through private, trade, investment and competition law, commercial and corporate rules.
