For context: The federal government will require some of the largest publicly traded companies to disclose their levels of greenhouse gas emissions under a new rule from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC voted 3 to 2 on Wednesday to require large companies to tell investors about greenhouse gas emissions directly caused by their business if that information would be likely to influence someone’s decision on whether to invest.
The rule represents a massive — and contentious — step in terms of what companies are required to tell potential investors about their vulnerability and contribution to climate change.
