Former Member of the EU Parliament, Richard Howitt on Disclosure Dynamics: SEC's Climate Rule Controversy
In this incisive interview, former SEC Chair Jay Clayton argues that the agency’s climate disclosure rule was “destined for failure.” He critiques its lack of industry-specific nuance, unrealistic comparability goals, and absence of a national transition plan. Clayton calls for pragmatic ESG disclosure rooted in financial materiality, not regulatory overreach.
