Tell the SEC: Stop reckless polluters from hiding their climate impact

Tell the SEC: stop reckless polluters from hiding their climate impact!

The Trump administration is pushing a dangerous climate rollback that would let corporate polluters hide the truth about their climate impact — and we need your voice to help stop it.

The Climate Disclosure Rule was created to protect people from investing in companies that are highly vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather disasters. It would require companies to be honest about the climate risks they face and the pollution they create.

Now, Trump and his administration are trying to kill the rule, leaving Americans exposed to major losses and polluters shielded from accountability.

Allowing companies to hide their climate-related risks could result in people losing their savings, their jobs, and their financial security. A real scenario that happened in 2008, when money was poured into risky subprime mortgages without investors fully understanding the dangers, helping trigger a global financial crisis that devastated millions of lives.

Every dollar invested in undisclosed climate risk is a dollar that could be driving the clean energy transition our future depends on. Killing the Climate Disclosure Rule would allow more money to flow into polluting industries despite the significant financial and environmental risks they pose. This isn't just about protecting investors from bad bets; it's about stopping polluters from benefiting from harming our planet.

To stop this from happening, we need people like you to use your voice and tell the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that people deserve the truth. Tell them that climate risk is financial risk — and that reckless polluters must not be allowed to hide it.

Dear Chairman Paul S. Atkins and the S.E.C.,

I’m writing to express my deep concern about the Trump administration’s proposed rollback of the ‘Climate Disclosure Rule’ that would require transparency from publicly traded companies, forcing them to provide investors with detailed information about the climate and environmental impact of their businesses.

The truth is that climate risk is financial risk, and to protect the planet and its people from another financial crisis, businesses must disclose the risks they face from climate change and a warming planet. Allowing corporations to hide the climate-related risks they face from investors could lead to the same devastating fallout from the early 2000s, when money piled into high-risk subprime mortgages until the global economy buckled and hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their homes, jobs, and savings. But this isn't only about protecting people from going bankrupt. It is also about preventing more money from flowing into industries that are driving the climate crisis and harming our planet.

Please keep the ‘Climate Disclosure Rule’ in place. Mandatory business transparency around climate risks is critical to protecting our planet, our investments, and future generations.

Thank you,
