SEC Finalizes Climate Rules

The attached bulletin summarizes the SEC’s final rules issued in March 2024 to require climate-related disclosures in SEC filings.  In April 2024, the SEC stayed the final rules due to several petitions for review filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals that challenge the validity of the rules. and in March 2025, the SEC voted to stop defending the rules. As a result, whether the rules will ever take effect as adopted remains uncertain.
