Summary
Regulatory reporting continues to evolve and consolidate, both globally and nationally. In the U.S., two California laws enacted in 2023 require various public and private U.S. companies that do business in the state to disclose their climate-related financial risks and their Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Reporting requirements start from 2026, creating urgency for financial institutions to identify relevant risks and navigate data collection challenges.
As California places climate disclosure back at the forefront, we invite you to join us for an insightful webinar exploring the evolving U.S. climate disclosure landscape. Our panelists will delve into common pain points and practical insights, such as:
- What data and milestones are needed to strengthen climate disclosure in 2025?
- What challenges do financial institutions face in calculating Scope 3 financed emissions across asset classes?
- What are best practices for conducting physical climate risk assessments
- How are current and upcoming SEC and ISSB regulations impacting banks and financial institutions?
- What are the emerging technologies that can aid in the assessment and reporting of climate risks?
