Plain-English Summary

This bill would require banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions to assess and disclose how climate change could affect their investments and business operations, similar to how they already report other financial risks. The goal is to help investors, regulators, and the public understand which financial companies are exposed to climate-related dangers like extreme weather, flooding, or stranded fossil fuel assets. This transparency would allow markets to better price risk and encourage companies to prepare for climate impacts.
