Policy experts, incl. CATF's Kathy Fallon & Rebecca Sanders-Demott, urge the U.S. Court of Appeals to uphold the SEC’s requirement for companies to disclose carbon offset use. Transparency is key for investors to assess risks tied to emissions commitments. catf.us/2024/08/carbon-offse…

Carbon offset experts urge Eighth Circuit to uphold SEC’s disclosure rule

The court should uphold the U.S. SEC requirement that companies with emissions commitments disclose carbon offset use.

Land ecosystems have been buying us time to make the transition to a zero-carbon future by absorbing nearly one-third of fossil, industry, and other human GHG emissions. But in years with El Nino conditions that capacity drops, according to recent research.

What does this mean for climate change and decarbonization? "The less carbon the land ecosystems absorb, the less fossil fuels the world can burn before humankind blows past global climate targets, said Anthony Walker, an ecosystem modeler at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory."

Our land, energy, and climate systems are coupled. Managing ecosystems to protect biospheric sinks and accelerating decarbonization are both critical to addressing climate change. That's why we work on zero-carbon solutions AND ecosystem carbon management: lnkd.in/egFK-txp

Federal agencies like @USDA, @CFTC, and @SECGov play crucial roles in crafting strong regulations that protect the credibility and liquidity of voluntary carbon markets.

The final SEC rule implies that a company's ghg emissions are not inherently material to an investor’s understanding of financial risk. Allowing companies to opt out “misses the whole point of climate disclosures,” @kflambert of @cleanaircatf told me. heatmap.news/economy/sec-cli…

The One Big Change to the SEC’s Climate Rule

Emissions reporting requirements have gone from mostly mandatory to quasi-discretionary.
