Friend, exciting news:

The Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261) passed out of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee!

In the last two weeks, more than 1,200 EnviroVoters members (!!!) have signed our petition in support of SB 261, which would require companies to disclose what mitigation measures they are taking in the face of the climate crisis.

We don’t know about you, friend, but we think we can get to 1,500 signatures.

Will you sign on to endorse the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act and show the California Legislature the public support behind this critical climate transparency bill?

Businesses have a duty to not only understand but anticipate the financial risks ahead of us in this fight. Thanks for being with us.

Subject: 👉 check out this bill to understand the risks of the climate crisis

Friend,

We know that the global climate crisis — and our transition to a clean energy economy — impacts every sector of the economy and facet of our life. It’s unavoidable.

As we make changes in our own lives to adapt to extreme temperatures, wildfires, and more, it’s also incumbent on financial institutions, investors, and companies to be prepared. We can’t just be guessing about what’s going to happen.

Businesses have a responsibility to understand and anticipate the financial risks ahead of us in the climate crisis.

That’s why we’re supporting the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261), which mandates large companies that do business in California to submit annual climate-related financial risk reports to the public. 

Friend, add your name to endorse the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act so the public knows what mitigation measures companies are taking in the face of the climate crisis.

The Climate-Related Financial Risk Act would have far-reaching effects. While it is a California bill, SB 261 will inform the rest of the country, allowing other states to make use of the reports published here to mitigate their own risk.

The public deserves not only accurate information about the oncoming financial risk of the climate crisis but also a real discussion about the strategies that governments, companies, and all of us should be using now and in the future. Hence, SB 261 requires ongoing assessment and study of best policy practices.

Friend, this critical climate transparency bill will be heard in the Senate Environmental Quality Committee NEXT WEEK on March 15.

So sign onto our petition today to show Senate leaders the public support behind passing the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act.

Let’s get this done!
