In March 2022, the SEC proposed new climate-related disclosure rules that would require public companies to report the prospective risks and material impacts of climate change on business, strategy and outlook. These disclosures include greenhouse gas emissions and the financial impact of severe weather events.
In October 2022, we heard from industry leaders as they examined the new rules, identified stakeholders and discussed the economic impacts of climate change. Please see below for recordings and bio of each guest speaker.
