Climate Change: Litigation, Regulation and Risk

This book is a collection of 20 expert commentaries on the primary business risks associated with global climate change. Topics include the risk of not disclosing to investors the material impact of global warming on business operations; the ongoing debate over whether the Securities and Exchange Commission mandates disclosure of climate-related risk; the limited success of litigation to limit carbon dioxide emissions; regional initiatives to cut greenhouse gases; the inability of Congress to develop a plan to address climate change; cap-and-trade programs; and the effect on insurance.
