Tell the SEC: Don’t Roll Back Corporate Climate Disclosure

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is moving to rescind an important rule that requires public companies to disclose climate-related financial risk. Such an outcome would take away vital information that regulators and investors (including public pension plans and retirement funds) need to make informed decisions in a rapidly changing world. Submit a comment to the SEC today in support of robust corporate climate disclosure requirements. Comments are due by Monday, August 3. The rule that the SEC is trying to rescind requires companies to disclose the amount of heat-trapping emissions their businesses produce, how climate impacts and the clean energy transition might affect their businesses, and their plans for meeting global warming emissions reduction targets. This rule is important for protecting US financial systems and people’s investments, while also sending a clear market signal of the importance of businesses orienting toward a clean, climate-resilient future. The Trump administration’s head-in-the-sand approach to climate change and repeated caving to corporate interests is harming everyday people and our economy. Join us in opposing their assault on transparency and science-based public policy. Please submit a comment to the SEC opposing the rollback of the corporate climate disclosure rule.  Sincerely, Hannah Poor Senior Campaign Organizer Climate and Energy Program Union of Concerned Scientists TAKE ACTION
