As climate change drives more and more extreme weather, the costs are piling up. Last year alone, just the top 20 worst extreme weather disasters — including historic wildfires through the West, winter storms in Texas and flooding in the Northeast — led to over $145 billion in damages, according to a recent National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report.

The SEC, in a groundbreaking rule, proposed that all publicly traded companies would be required to measure and disclose greenhouse gas emissions in a standardized way for the first time, and they need to hear from you.

We can put a price on the risk of climate change that incentivizes industries to make necessary change — but only if the environmental movement shows up and advocates for this historic shift.

Take action now and tell the SEC you support this historic new climate disclosure rule. >>

Climate change is an existential threat to our economy. And these economic costs do not account for all of the other harm the climate crisis causes: approximately 700 lives lost last year directly to climate disasters in the US alone, livelihoods destroyed by disasters, and cumulative health effects fueled by climate change.

Not paying attention to climate change puts business and jobs at risk. The SEC is doing its job: shareholders deserve to understand and be protected from the increasing climate-related risks of the companies they are investing in. It's time we demand transparency and accountability.

Will you be one of 10,000 LCV members we need to tell the SEC TODAY that you support this groundbreaking proposal before the public comment period closes? >>
