Congress--push the SEC to issue a strong Climate Disclosure Rule!

As your constituent, I am contacting you about the SEC’s proposal on climate-related financial risks. I urge you to call SEC Chair Gary Gensler and the SEC directly to communicate your support for a strong final rule that requires disclosure of all public companies’ relevant greenhouse gas emissions. I’m concerned about how climate change will impact my ability and future generations’ ability to save for retirement. I support more standardized, mandatory information about companies’ climate-related financial risks, their contributions to climate change, and their plans for remaining solvent in a low-carbon economy. In particular, I strongly support the SEC’s inclusion of value chain or Scope 3 emissions reporting requirements for many large public companies. As the SEC moves forward to finalize the rule, Chair Gensler needs to hear from Congress about how necessary it is for the final rule to include Scope 3 emissions disclosure. Thanks.
