This statement from the US White House encapsulates the global trend dubbed ESG - an insistence on attending to the natural environment, social values, and responsible governance in business affairs. A salient aspect of this trend is the 'explosion' of human rights and environment-related disputes that have come to the fore on the international legal landscape. In this timely and crucially important volume, distinguished jurists, representatives of governments and NGOs, and in-house counsel identify and analyse the sources of ESG-related litigation and arbitration, providing an extensive treatment of the nature of ESG disputes and their resolution across both commercial and investment fora.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributions are based on papers presented at a conference organized by the Swiss Arbitration Association in February 2023.
