Dear Chair Gary Gensler, The Proposed Rule S7-10-22: Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors is good policy, long overdue. I applaud the SEC for exercising its mandate to ensure that investors and the public have access to science-based information about risks that could affect their investments. Climate change stands to create significant instability and disruption in our financial and economic systems, and far-reaching impacts across our society in general; implementation and enforcement of a strong rule will give investors the tools we need to protect our investments and hold companies accountable for reducing heat-trapping emissions. Having data about its likely effects on companies’ assets and long-term business outlook is essential for investors to make informed decisions and protect the wellbeing of our economy. Please pass a strong climate disclosure rule as soon as possible. Sincerely, Dr. Steve Ditore Seattle, WA 98125
