Description
Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler is reportedly
considering scaling back the historic 'climate risk disclosure' rule,
which would require large companies to disclose the carbon emissions
from their supply chain. POLITICO’s Declan Harty breaks down the
potential legal backlash if the rule is approved as is, why the SEC
might soften the rule, and how environmental advocates might react if
the regulation is scaled back. Plus, the International Energy Agency
says growth in renewables will help stabilize emissions from the power
sector — but not fast enough to meet climate goals.
