The ESG landscape has shifted significantly in recent years, presenting new challenges for organizations operating in this rapidly evolving space. In this session, we will explore the legal and regulatory risks emerging on both sides of the ESG debate and examine the impact of key regulatory developments in the United States and Europe.
Our presenters will address the following topics:
• Evolving ESG Disclosure Rules. An overview of the current state of ESG disclosure requirements, including what has changed, what remains unchanged, and what organizations should anticipate going forward.
• The Anti-ESG Movement. An examination of the growing legal and regulatory pushback against ESG initiatives, including recent legislative and enforcement trends shaping the landscape.
• California's Climate-Related Disclosure Laws. A focused discussion on California's landmark climate-related disclosure legislation and its role in advancing corporate transparency obligations at the state level.
• The Sustainable Finance Market. An analysis of how shifts in sentiment are influencing the size, scope, and nature of the sustainable finance market, and what this means for market participants.
