'A responsabilidade civil é um pilar do sistema jurídico, estabelecendo as bases para a justa reparação de danos causados a terceiros. Por outro lado, o seguro desempenha um papel crucial na gestão de riscos, oferecendo proteção financeira e promovendo confiança nas atividades econômicas em geral. A combinação desses dois domínios em uma única obra é uma iniciativa louvável e oportuna. Os artigos compilados neste livro exploram uma ampla gama de questões que são essenciais para o entendimento da relação entre seguro e responsabilidade civil. Desde a análise do'duty to defend'no Brasil até a complexa interface entre seguros e sistemas de inteligência artificial, os autores tratam com percuciência de vários tópicos que desafiam a reflexão jurídica contemporânea. Entre os temas abordados, encontram-se discussões cuidadosas acerca do princípio da boa-fé objetiva na perspectiva do seguro de responsabilidade civil, o papel do seguro-garantia como instrumento de gerenciamento de riscos em contratos de infraestrutura, bem como os desafios e oportunidades apresentados pela inteligência artificial nos contratos de seguros. Além disso, este livro examina de perto a gestão de riscos nos contratos de seguros de riscos cibernéticos, uma área de crescente importância em um mundo cada vez mais digital e interconectado. Também oferece insights valiosos quanto ao papel vital do seguro de responsabilidade civil na resolução adequada de conflitos envolvendo profissionais da medicina e pacientes, entre outros temas de grande relevância que seria tedioso enumerar num prefácio que se destina a despertar o interesse dos leitores. À medida que o direito continua a evoluir e se adaptar às incessantes mudanças na sociedade e na técnica, o conhecimento sobre a interseção entre seguro e responsabilidade civil se torna mais crucial do que nunca, para alocar adequadamente os riscos e garantir a justa reparação dos danos causados pelo uso de tecnologias crescentemente complexas, invasivas e de elevado grau de risco. Esta obra coletiva contribui significativamente para essa compreensão e com certeza será referência valiosa para acadêmicos, juristas, profissionais do direito e estudantes'.

What is the purpose of the stock corporation? Walther Rathenau's question about the legally standardized corporate objectives of the stock corporation has been a hot topic for over a century. In recent years, the discourse on the goal of sustainability has been influenced by the changing zeitgeist, particularly in the Anglo-American world. This change has also reached private and corporate law, which is traditionally regarded as neutral. This neutrality of corporate law requirements for the directors of public limited companies has been gradually restricted over the past decade. This raises the question of the scope and extent of sustainability requirements in relation to the profitability target.

Engaging with one of the most consequential issues of our time, this book provides a thoughtful analysis of responsibility for environmental damage under international law. It conceives of responsibility in a comprehensive way, tackling the legal responsibility, liability and accountability of state and non-state actors for harm they cause to the environment.Responsibility for Environmental Damage traverses the primary and secondary rules of international law, the responsibility, liability and accountability of states, international organizations, corporations and individuals, as well as existing, new and emerging regulatory frameworks. It engages with the consequences of environmental harm, appraising both orthodox legal doctrines and cutting-edge questions like shared responsibility, equitable considerations, full reparation, response measures under liability regimes, corporate responsibility, ecocide and responsibility for climate change, amongst many others. In doing so, the book evaluates whether the law is equipped to deal with the novel challenges that environmental damage presents and argues that new legal tools are needed to effectively tackle some of the most significant threats to our planet.This book is an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as scholars who conduct research on responsibility, liability or accountability for environmental damage in the areas of public international law, international environmental law, human rights, international criminal law and international economic law. International law practitioners, judges, arbitrators, policymakers, and those working for think-tanks and NGOs will similarly benefit from this valuable work.

In light of the UN General Assembly's recognition of the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, this erudite book presents in-depth analyses of the concrete operationalization of this right at the regional, national, and international level.The book delves into the question of how to operationalize a global recognition of the right to a healthy environment in and beyond the Anthropocene, an era characterized by significant heatwaves, droughts, pollution and biodiversity loss. Focusing on the interplay between EU environmental law, the European Convention on Human Rights, and the right to a healthy environment, it presents practical case studies to take stock of contemporary lessons and experiences regarding the application of this right in a European context. Chapters explore both the theoretical foundations and novel paradigms of environmental law, including rights of nature, animal welfare, climate change litigation, and civil disobedience, offering a unique insight into the future directions of the right to a healthy environment in the 21st century.Scholars and practitioners of environmental law will find this book to be an invaluable resource. Its astute analysis of recent court cases and litigation strategies will appeal to human rights advocates, NGOs, and political organizations invested in enhancing sustainable environmental governance from a human rights perspective.
