 I strongly support this rule. We are in a climate emergency. If we don't act now we will be looking at a planet that's uninhabitable for our children and grandchildren - our country's inaction on climate change means I have no hope that there will be a safe, stable world to pass on.

The transparency this rule requires will hold companies accountable for their role in climate change, and give investors more leverage in forcing changes to business practices that contribute to rising global temperatures. Climate change threatens all business sectors and infrastructure, and it is investors' right to know if a company's action or inaction will impact it.

It's simple fact that companies won't voluntarily disclose this information, and that we can't demand they do better if they don't.

It's also simple fact that without dramatic changes the human race will suffer incalculable harm from the results of the climate crisis.

Please pass and implement this rule. Thanks.
