SEC adopts climate-risk disclosure rules for public companies
On 6 March 2024 the US Securities and Exchange Commission, chaired by Gary Gensler, voted 3-2 to adopt rules requiring public companies to disclose material climate-related risks and, for larger filers, certain greenhouse-gas emissions. The final rule dropped the most contentious Scope 3 (value-chain) requirement after more than 24,000 comments. The rules drew immediate legal challenges; in 2025 the SEC voted to end its defence of them, so their long-term force remains uncertain.
