Klappentext zu „Corporate Liability for Transboundary Environmental Harm “
This open access book aims to elaborate on the legal prerequisites to establish the liability of corporations for transboundary environmental harm, not only by identifying existing liability rules, principles and standards but also by analysing their potential for further legal development. The authors consider international and transboundary liability law to currently be an underutilised tool for international environmental protection. The book seeks to address this by exploring what is needed in terms of legislative action and identifying options for judicial pliability, thereby providing an important legal contribution in furthering the development of an effective international and transnational environmental liability law regime.

Having an academic background in human rights law, legal sociology and transnational legal theory, his research and consultancy at the Öko-Institut focuses on international environmental regulation and liability, on concepts and preconditions of national and European value chain regulations and other regulatory instruments with extraterritorial implications. Issues related to the environmental regulation of complex value chains are also at the heart of his research in the context of the digital economy and artificial intelligence. In addition to a variety of academic publications, he is author of several comprehensive scientific studies on these topics.

He is an expert in the dynamically evolving field of corporate sustainability due diligence legislation.

David Krebs has published several articles on related issues and works on a dissertation project regarding the protection of human rights in global value chains through home state regulation
