Dear Chair Gary Gensler, I urge the Commission to adopt a strong, comprehensive version of the Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors (S7-10-22) rule without delay. In particular, the final rule should mandate and standardize disclosure by publicly listed companies of ALL heat-trapping emissions associated with corporate operations, products, and supply chains, as Scope 3 emissions can account for 80-90 percent of companies’ total emissions in some sectors. Swift adoption, implementation, and enforcement of a strong rule will hold corporations accountable for their impact on the climate, their plans to mitigate those impacts, and their progress in achieving climate-related goals and targets. Please protect our financial system from climate-induced risk by passing a strong, science-based climate disclosure rule as soon as possible. Sincerely, Mr. Charles Collins Sebastopol, CA 95472
