From the Thursday, September 18, 2007 WSJ -- The SEC is being pressed on Climate - Change disclosures. "Investors have sought climate change assessments". "Petitioners, including New York attorney general, finance officials from California and Florida, environmental groups and CALPERS, the nation's biggest public pension fund, assert that climate change poses a threat whose 'material adverse' effect must be disclosed to satisfy SEC reporting rules."
Lemaire Consulting asserts that in the foreseeable future public company and governmental disclosures may need to address the impact of climate change. The risk that your company may not be able to state with reasonable assurance its vulnerability to climate change increases without proper planning. Assess and report on your exposures to climate change.
