Regulators Called on to Restart Climate Disclosure Work
- In 2025, eighty influential women from the realms of business and civil society urged Canadian securities authorities to recommence their efforts on climate-related disclosure regulations.
- The call follows the Canadian Securities Administrators' April decision to indefinitely suspend disclosure efforts, a move criticized as abrupt amid worsening climate change.
- The proposed regulations mandate that companies disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, describe the climate-related risks and opportunities they encounter, and explain their management strategies to ensure investors have essential information for decision-making.
- Signatories such as CEO Barbara Zvan, director Barbara Stymiest, and CEO Catherine McKenna expressed astonishment at the suspension, emphasizing that the disclosures play a critical role in maintaining efficient, competitive, and resilient markets.
- The letter warns that Canada risks losing investments without globally aligned standards and that resuming disclosures is crucial for Canada to remain competitive and open for business.
