How can the promotion and facilitation of foreign direct investment be reconciled with the demands of environmental and social sustainability? To what extent can the negotiation of new international investment agreements prevent human rights abuses and environmental damage in the context of cross-border investment? This book addresses the tension between investment protection and sustainability, from the perspectives of different stakeholders. Drawing on insights from the public and private sector, NGOs, legal practice and academia, it analyses the main instruments developed to balance investor protection with state regulatory autonomy in the pursuit of social and environmental goals. Through a combination of legal analysis and policy reflection, the volume examines emerging treaty practice, arbitral trends, and reform initiatives aimed at embedding environmental and social sustainability into the international investment protection regime.
