Abstract
This thought piece sketches out a preliminary conceptualisation of ‘sustainability law’, as an emerging, interdisciplinary new field. The aim is to stimulate debate on how legal scholars can respond constructively to the fragmentation, silo thinking and lack of policy coherence that is hindering regulation for the fundamental transformation to sustainability. These barriers to change are evident also in the unprecedented sustainability-oriented initiatives of the European Union (EU). In this paper, the author concentrates on EU law and regulation of business as my examples throughout, while sustainability law is relevant to all jurisdictions, all areas of law and all societal issues
