Trump's top Wall Street cop shoots down Biden-era climate rules for US firms

Regulation & LegislationESG & Climate PolicyGreen & Sustainable FinanceElections & Domestic Politics

The SEC moved to kill a Biden-era climate disclosure rule that would have required US firms to report global warming risks and greenhouse gas emissions. The decision eases a potential regulatory burden for companies, while marking a significant reversal in ESG disclosure policy under the Trump administration. The impact is meaningful for compliance and sustainability reporting, but it is more sector- and policy-specific than market-wide.
