The shift to clean energy isn’t just about managing risk. It’s about unleashing a wave of new markets, business models, and solutions. In 2024 alone, global investments in clean energy soared to $2 trillion—TWICE as much spent on fossil fuels. Solar power cemented its position as the cheapest source of new electricity, reshaping the global energy landscape. As we move further into 2025, our CEO Mindy Lubber is optimistic that this momentum will continue to accelerate. Read why in her recent Forbes column: https://bit.ly/4175z49

Today’s request to delay hearing arguments in this important case is truly unfortunate. The SEC was established to protect investors, and for more than 20 years, investors have clearly and overwhelmingly stated that they need more clear, consistent, and decision-useful information on companies’ exposure to climate-related risks. The ongoing acceleration of physical climate risks, including the recent tragic fires in Los Angeles, has underscored the importance of transparency on these risks. The rule the SEC adopted last March marked the most significant improvement to the climate-related disclosure landscape in U.S. history, and the final rule was very responsive to the record-breaking 24,000 public comments the agency received on its proposal. This decision by the SEC to walk away from defending its own rule in court is an abdication of the agency’s investor protection mission. Steven M. Rothstein 🌎 📝
