G-20 task force accuses companies of lagging in climate-related disclosures

London — Companies are failing to disclose sufficient detail about how exposed they are to the potential risks of climate change, a global task force says in a new report.

The task force on climate-related financial disclosures, set up by the G-20’s financial stability board, found in its report that climate-related disclosure has improved since 2016 but only about a quarter of companies disclosed information aligned with more than five of the task force’s 11 recommendations.

The task force published its second status report on Wednesday, showing 785 companies and organisations, with a combined market capitalisation of more than $9.2-trillion, have committed to supporting the task force framework, a more than 50% increase from the first status report published in September.

Forest High stabbing: Parents complained about 'drug den' school | IOL NewsA 20-year-old Grade 11 learner spent a cold and lonely night behind bars on Monday night after the murder of his schoolmate. I wonder why the school does not work with the police. Our bags was searched in Pietersburg in the 90's at school and the police held talks often about drugs. Why aren't they not involved anymore. When police comes to schools I am sure it will help. Build trust. Lesufi scjools are drug dens and gangster ridden but he demonise Afrikaans schools. That wheel turns quickly hey.
