Ep41 “Understanding the SEC's New Climate Disclosure Rules” with Lawrence Cunningham

In this episode, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen welcome Lawrence Cunningham, Research Professor of Law Emeritus at GW Law and special counsel with Mayer Brown LLP, to explore the arguments for and against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandating climate risk disclosures for companies.    Submit your questions to the show here: https://bit.ly/AllElseEqual  Find All Else Equal on the web: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/business-podcasts/all-else-equal-making-better-decisions  All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of Stanford Graduate School of Business and is produced by University FM.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
