Climate change threatens to have a significant and complex impact on most if not all listed companies. Greater transparency about how issuers of listed securities may be impacted by climate-related risks and opportunities will help to ensure that securities are more accurately priced and help markets to work well. This will in turn allow investors to allocate capital more effectively to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. We are not proposing to mandate disclosure at this point. This is because issuers’ capabilities are still developing in some areas and we do not want to set binding requirements that may not yet be fully achievable.
