About

Keith MacMaster is a legal and financial policy researcher focusing on sustainable finance. His research is directed at two broad areas: climate finance and deep seabed mining.  The first area aims at improving responsible investing and creating new sustainable financial products.  The second area analyzes the financial mechanisms relating to deep seabed mining, ensuring parties responsible for environmental damage have liability attached.   
 
This Hi PhD thesis ("Comprehensive Wealth and the Development of Deep Seabed Mining Finance") addressed the financial and investment issues in deep seabed mining, arguing that additional measures are necessary to prevent environmental and social harms, to provide for compensation and remediation should those harms occur, and to ensure that the principles of the common heritage of mankind are implemented.
