Avoid RegTech myopia with a data-centric approach - DataScienceCentral.com

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which regulates public company securities, recently proposed its own climate impact reporting requirement. Many US public companies already voluntarily publish information on this topic for shareholders who have been asking for those details. But various state GOP attorneys general are already questioning the SEC's ability to impose the requirement, asserting that such a requirement lacks materiality. So there's a distinct possibility the SEC's proposal will get tied up in litigation, at least for now. Back in September 2021, Addisu Lashitew, nonresident fellow, global economy and development at The Brookings Institution, characterized the US stance on the climate impact reporting issue as laissez faire.
