AI Summary

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has formally proposed eliminating the existing climate‑risk disclosure rule, which would reduce the amount of climate‑related information available to investors. The agency’s filing argues that the change would also advance a legal theory that could broadly weaken corporate disclosure requirements. The proposal was released in Washington, D.C., and signals a shift away from the SEC’s recent investor‑protection initiatives.
