Catching up stuff...Was a little busy yesterday.

This news is somewhat dated but interesting nevertheless. This could be potentially real because big investment firms have asked for this information.

SEC says climate change disclosure a priority

The SEC plans to focus on climate change disclosure requirements once it completes working on corporate compensation disclosure proposals, said spokesman John Nester in a statement today.

“This is an area of great interest and we intend to focus on it,” he said in his statement.

His comment came in response to a letter sent last week by 41 institutional investors, urging the SEC to require corporations to disclose climate change and other environmental and social risks.


The request is from INCR - Investor Network on Climate Risk


INCR is a $7 trillion network of investors that promotes better understanding of the financial risks and opportunities posed by climate change.
