The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Welcomes Public Input on Climate Change Disclosures

Noting an increased demand for climate change information, to ensure investors are adequately informed of risks, uncertainties, impacts, and opportunities, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) invites public input on 15 questions: 1.
