The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it will delay implementation of the recently finalized climate disclosure rules laying out new requirements for companies to divulge their climate risks and some of their greenhouse emissions in public filings submitted annually to the agency. The delay is in response to litigation, most notably from Republican attorneys general, challenging the agency’s authority to promulgate the rule. If and when implemented, the new rules require publicly traded companies to analyze and publish how climate
change threatens their business whether through physical risks like floods and other extreme weather or through “transition risks” like regulation. To learn more, Join AHLA for a webinar on Thursday, May 2, at 1 p.m. ET to discuss the new rules, the
uphill legal battles many of these rules face, and the practical impacts they will have on your financial reporting. Register here.
