"Climate Change Advocacy Sparks Harassment of Iowa Meteorologist on Newscasts"

Global Shift: International Climate Reporting Standards Set to Expose Greenwashing and Drive Sustainability

While the SEC and EU are developing their own climate reporting regimes, there is real interest from the US corporate and investor communities in voluntarily adopting the ISSB standards. Major countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, and the UK have indicated their intention to consider using the ISSB standards, and reporting could start as early as 2025. The adoption of a global baseline would enable consistent global data, facilitate comparison for investors, attract more climate investment, and reduce the costs of producing information.
