SSFI-ESLC Lunchtime Seminar - Regulatory Tools for Healthy and Sustainable Diets: Opportunities, Challenges, and a Just Transition
Most talk of transitions involve climate change and the transition to a decarbonised economy. But we need to look beyond just the energy system. The agri-food system is also an important driver of climate change as well as biodiversity loss, pollution, and non-communicable human diseases. This talk will discuss a recent UK research study exploring the role of law and regulation in transforming food systems onto a healthier and more sustainable basis. What are the challenges, what are the opportunities, and how do we ensure that this transition is a just one? These are all questions that the talk will address.

The restructuring of financially distressed multinational firms is often costly and inefficient because insolvency proceedings must be coordinated across jurisdictions. Weak coordination between domestic and foreign courts increases legal uncertainty and hampers effective restructuring. To address this problem, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) introduced the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, which has been adopted by a growing number of countries, including the United States in 2005 and Singapore in 2017.

Using a comprehensive dataset of Chapter 15 filings from 2005–2020, we show that the law has been actively used by foreign firms, particularly those from countries with strong creditor rights and efficient bankru…
