Dear Chair Gensler I am writing in support of the SEC taking steps to make it easier for investors to understand climate risk. I would prefer knowing if a company is preparing to be successful in a low-carbon world. Earlier this year, I instructed my financial planner to change my investment strategy to one that mainly supports green companies; I did so even after my planner cautioned that my returns in the near future would likely be lower with a green-preferred strategy. I am becoming increasingly concerned (convinced, actually), that we are not many years away from climate change causing major disruptions in global markets. Thank you for your consideration.
