Read Brattle's Latest Newsletter - Let’s Talk About Climate Change: Disclosure is Coming
Many parties from the investment, legal, regulatory, industrial, insurance, accounting, and environmental communities have been calling for a consistent, comprehensive approach to financial climate change disclosure. Some argue that disclosures may be required now due to:
- Current state and regional regulation and the portent of federal regulation related to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions
- Ongoing and likely climate change-related litigation
- The commitment of significant corporate capital and management attention to develop climate change-related strategies and responses
- Increasing investor demand for climate change disclosures
For the past year, Brattle principal Gayle Koch has worked with ASTM International’s Climate Risk Management Group on a draft voluntary standard for financial climate change disclosures. To download our newsletter summarizing the new draft standard, and to obtain information on how to submit comments on the draft, please follow the link at the bottom of the page.
In addition, Ms. Koch will be discussing the draft standard at the December 4, 2008 (12:00-1:30 EST) American Bar Association teleconference sponsored by the Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources’ Environmental Disclosure Committee. To obtain more information on this teleconference and instructions on how to register, visit the ABA's teleconference website.
