What happened in climate this month? 🔥 Record-breaking heat pushed communities to their limits, countries doubled down on electrification ahead of #COP31, and international climate finance faced renewed uncertainty. Read this month's #ClimateDigest: bit.ly/4fW9hFv
🌊 🌡️ The ocean has absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat caused by greenhouse gases—but it's paying the price. Warmer oceans mean stronger storms, stressed ecosystems and growing risks for people worldwide. Learn more: bit.ly/4xfr9BU
📊 Climate risk is financial risk. Rescinding the SEC's climate disclosure rule won't remove climate risk—it will leave investors with less information to manage it. 📖 Read Janet Ranganathan's latest commentary: bit.ly/4h6bYq6 #ClimateRisk #Investing #SEC
Rescinding US SEC’s Disclosure Rule Will Blindfold Investors to Climate Risk
A 2024 rule requires companies to disclose to investors their financially material climate risks, such as floods, droughts and the costs of moving away from fossil fuels. The SEC may do away with it.
