摘要

与气候有关的自然灾害的日益普遍和严重程度正在使气候债务陷阱永久化，其中恢复成本随着时间的推移而增加，逐渐削弱了政府获得资金以应对这些灾害的能力。参与全球金融市场的国家如何应对？本文重点关注主权债务合同中的自然灾害条款，这些条款使国家政府能够在自然灾害袭击该国时暂时停止向债权人付款。在应对气候变化的全球金融体系法律改革的持续辩论中，自然灾害条款作为合同创新的一个例子进行了分析和批评。

The sovereign climate debt trap and natural disaster clauses

The growing prevalence and magnitude of climate-related natural disasters are perpetuating a climate debt trap in which recovery costs compound over time, progressively eroding the capacity of governments to obtain financing to respond to them. How can countries participating in global financial markets respond? This article focuses on natural disaster clauses in sovereign debt contracts, which enable a national government to temporarily suspend payments to its creditors when a natural disaster strikes the country. Natural disaster clauses are analyzed and critiqued as an example of contract innovation amidst ongoing debates about legal reform of the global financial system in response to climate change.

Our mission is to publish only top quality law review articles that make a scholarly contribution to all areas of law that impact business theory and practice. We search for those articles that articulate a novel research question and make a meaningful contribution directly relevant to scholars and practitioners of business law.
