Diving into the crucial intersection of climate change and financial reporting, this book sheds light on the evolving landscape of climate-related reporting practices, exploring the regulatory framework, economic consequences, and determinants of disclosure in Europe. With a comprehensive approach, the book delves into the pivotal role of institutions and standard setters, such as the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB), in providing guidance and promoting consistency in reporting practices. Academic research forms a significant part of the contributions, but the inclusion of professional insights from various fields enriches the discussion, offering a well-rounded view of the current landscape. This collection not only contributes to the academic discourse on environmental reporting but also offers practical insights for regulators, policymakers, and businesses. It identifies areas for improvement and highlights best practices that can guide organizations in effectively addressing climate-related risks and opportunities.

The SEC's efforts to standardize climate disclosure have revealed deep divides among the public and among corporate and securities law scholars about the proper scope and goals of climate disclosure reform. This controversy comes at a time when investor demand for ESG investment products is rising exponentially and when other regulators worldwide are already moving to standardize how climate risk and other ESG information is reported to investors.This Article clarifies the line-drawing choices behind mandatory climate risk disclosure, explains the established frameworks for corporate climate reporting that regulators internationally are building upon, and identifies how both have informed the SEC's proposed climate disclosure rules. This Article contributes to the debates over ESG disclosure mandates by exploring the boundaries and intersections of climate risk and broader ESG concepts and by considering the potential liability implications of mandatory climate risk disclosure. It concludes by explaining the impact and limits of the SEC's line-drawing choices and outlining steps that could be taken to better achieve the goals of the proposed reforms and perhaps to move beyond them.
