Global regulations are evolving quickly. While some of the new or proposed rules and regulations have a singular focus on climate change issues, others address sustainability more broadly.

• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): The US agency is set to finalize new rules for climate disclosures that, as proposed, focus on the oversight of climate-related risks, the financial impacts of severe weather events and greenhouse gas emissions.
• The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG): Its member organizations developed new, expansive ESG reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These will impact EU-listed companies as well as non-EU-listed companies with large subsidiaries in the region.
• The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): The UK financial markets regulator, requires UK-listed companies to disclose whether their climate-related disclosures are aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, or explain why not.
• The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB): The board has developed two sustainability standards expected to be finalized later this year. One focuses specifically on climate-related issues while the second covers general sustainability-related disclosures. Additional standards are expected.
