Climate Risk Disclosure Guides Journalists, Not Just Investors [18]

A profound tightening of companies’ environmental risk disclosure requirements may be ahead, thanks to efforts by the Biden administration’s Securities and Exchange Commission. And the new WatchDog Opinion column argues that as fossil fuel firms position themselves as part of an environmentally sound future, journalists must act too — demanding full disclosure of corporate financial risks related to climate.

As Locales Move to Decarbonize Buildings, Will States Ban Gas Bans? [37]

While climate change is certainly a global phenomenon, conflicts over addressing it often turn on local concerns. Case in point: Community bans on the use of the fossil fuel methane (aka natural gas), which has in turn prompted some states to ban the bans themselves. The latest TipSheet explains the bans and how they play into the climate change debate, plus story ideas and resources.

"In Secret Tapes, Palm Oil Execs Disclose Corruption, Brutality" [46]

"Global Witness, an environmental and human rights organization, sent undercover investigators to get the scoop"

"The police drove into the village of Watwat in SUVs during a rainstorm. It was late on a July night in 2019, and they’d come through the rainforest, armed with guns and metal bars.

Men and teenage boys were dragged out of bed, beaten and thrown into the mud. Some were arrested, held for weeks and interrogated about vandalizing palm trees, according to an investigative report by the advocacy group Global Witness.

"Fossil Fuel Firms Feel The Heat Over Push For Advertising Ban" [51]
