In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we sit down with California State Senator Henry Stern at Climate Week NYC. Sen. Stern introduced one of two climate laws that California enacted in 2023, Senate Bill 261, which requires certain companies to prepare reports on climate change risks. The other, Senate Bill 253, requires certain companies to estimate and publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. The senator discusses the California laws and the future of climate disclosure in an interview on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week. “We're facing a gauntlet of climate risk, and so we have the authority to get ahead of that and know what's coming,” Sen. Stern says.
