Each volume covers one region of the field in plain language: how it works, where it came from, what the law says, and what a careful professional should doubt. The series is published by Climate Expert Publication, an editorial collective committed to unbiased, knowledge-based information for students, young professionals, and everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first volume. \u003cstrong\u003eFoundations\u003c\/strong\u003e is the entry point. It assumes no prior climate science, no prior finance training, and no prior exposure to environmental law. Its job is to hand a newcomer the vocabulary, the history, the institutional map, the regulatory geography at orientation level, the live critiques, and a set of open questions for the field that goes by the shorthand \"ESG,\" \"sustainable finance,\" and increasingly just \"climate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside this volume: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe working vocabulary of the field, defined in plain language: ESG, sustainability, materiality, double materiality, net zero, scenarios, just transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA short history from the 1987 Brundtland Commission through the launch of the PRI in 2006 to the EU Omnibus I of 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe institutional map: IPCC, UNFCCC, ISSB, EFRAG, GRI, PRI, UNEP FI, SBTi, and the GFANZ alliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 2026 regulatory geography at orientation level: CSRD, CSDDD, EU Taxonomy, SFDR, ESRS, UK SDR, the SEC rule, California SB 253 and SB 261, and ISSB adoption across 21 jurisdictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive steelmanned critiques every honest practitioner should be able to argue both sides of: Edmans on \"the end of ESG,\" the Pastor-Stambaugh-Taylor equilibrium, the Friede empirical ambiguity, the political-legitimacy and antitrust critique, and ratings divergence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive open questions for 2026 to 2031: materiality convergence, the future of voluntary alliances, the EU model after Omnibus, the role of litigation, and where the field's centre of gravity moves next\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe five volumes of The Climate Expert: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume I: Foundations (this book)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume II: Climate Risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume III: ESG Reporting and Disclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume IV: Climate Law and Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume V: Net Zero Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71434068099325,"sku":"9781067302559","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/vRNzdOUrzl9781067302559.webp?v=1790790641","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-climate-expert-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
