I. Framing the issue: why such a question (climate change and public law)? When we proposed to our contributors to undertake the present dossier, we were well aware that climate change is not by itself a legal phenomenon. Yet we strongly believe that the law is nevertheless somewhat relevant in respect of the possible causes of climate change and might also play a central role in the efforts to mitigate and deal with it in the long run.

Excited to share that my latest article, "The Future of Climate Policy & Corporate Accountability," has been published by Bloomberg Law on May 17th. If you do not have access to Bloomberg Law, you may access the article on my #FrostBrownTodd biography page—https://lnkd.in/gHr5iQwG. A "pdf" of the article is also attached below. In this piece, I delve into the evolving landscape of climate policy and the pivotal role corporate accountability plays in addressing environmental challenges. The article explores the legal intricacies of California’s stringent climate disclosure laws, S.B. 253 and S.B. 261, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Final Rule on climate-related disclosures. I discuss the significant legal challenges these regulations face from both business and environmental groups, and the potential ramifications these disputes could have on corporate transparency and environmental responsibility. With climate policy at a crossroads, understanding these dynamics is crucial for businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders invested in a sustainable future. Please read the article and share your thoughts! #ClimateChange #ClimatePolicy #CorporateAccountability #EnvironmentalLaw #SEC #California #BloombergLaw
