Lawmakers and think tanks back SEC climate disclosure rule in court
"Nothing in the instant rule regulates climate change or greenhouse gas emissions."
A raft of US lawmakers and sustainability-related think tanks have filed amicus briefs in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals to defend the Securities and Exchange Commission’s climate disclosure rule against legal challenges seeking to invalidate it.
The amicus briefs were filed last week at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals – where the SEC is facing a consolidated legal challenge from at least nine different conservative-leaning states and business groups trying to prevent the implementation of its climate disclosure rule.
