Ecological Transition in Economic Law (TEDE)

TEDE Report Presentation and Discussion — 18 December 2025

Why is the law falling short in addressing the ecological crisis?

One reason lies in the established separation between two fields: on the one hand, business law, which governs businesses and markets (corporate law, financial law, international trade, etc.); on the other, environmental law. The former has been entrusted with fostering economic activity; the latter, with protecting the environment. This structure has hindered the ecological ambitions of the latter, confining it to mitigating certain damages caused by the economic activities that economic law promotes, while ignoring their structural causes. Reversing this trend requires addressing the root of the problem: it is economic law itself that must be transformed to make the ecological transition a priority, without sacrificing economic efficiency or employment. 

The report “The Ecological Transformation of Economic Law,” published in March 2025 by the TEDE research team, explores the causes and mechanisms of this transformation.

On December 18, 2025, come meet the members of this team to discuss the potential of economic law in support of the ecological transition.
