Climate risk disclosure could cause market distortion: IHS Markit
Proposals from the G20’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure, which recommend that companies disclose their management of climate risks, could potentially mislead investors and distort markets, according to research and data firm IHS Markit. The report was financed by oil firms BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Total.  Markit maintains that, regardless of the report's backers, the conclusions drawn are its own. The study argues that disclosure could lead investors to downgrade other risks and that assumed scenarios will differ widely across different companies. Competitive positions could also be undermined.

Climate reform, consumer behavior, investor sentiment and geopolitics are creating a new map.
