The phenomenon of greenwashing stems from a breach of substantial adherence by issuers to the rules of the sustainable finance framework. As the study demonstrates, with respect to the so-called green defaults, further consideration must therefore be given to the ex post corrective attitude, but also deterrent effect, of general civil law remedies, genetically aimed at resolving conflicts between private parties arising precisely as a result of the (real) failure to pursue the public interest objectives set forth in the sectoral financial regulations. After a description of the framework of sustainable financial products and the related risks of greenwashing, with particular attention to the specific case of the new European green bonds regulation, the analysis examines the criticalities of the general civil law remedies for investor protection in sustainable capital markets, foreshadowing some possible solutions at the level of private regulatory law.
