Summary 

The United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative hosted a webinar meeting of the SSE Climate Disclosure Advisory Group to discuss how to support stock exchanges in providing guidance to issuers on climate disclosure. The meeting brought together exchanges, regulators, and investors in order to review the first draft of a model guidance. The document will assist exchanges in developing best practice reporting guidance for issuers to ensure globally consistent disclosures incorporating the recommendations from the FSB Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

The SSE held two webinars to accommodate the many time zones of all members of the Advisory Group. In total there were 58 participants joining from 21 countries around the world, including representatives of 21 exchanges.

The discussions were moderated by London Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Co-Chairs of the SSE Climate Disclosure Advisory Group, who walked readers through the first draft, and the changes made after receiving the comments from the Advisory Group menmbers. The Advisory Group highlighted the importance of the SSE project for assisting exchanges by informing broader international discussions about best practices in implementing the TCFD recommendations.

Speakers on the calls included representatives from: CDSB, NSE, Borsa Italiana, Bursa Malaysia, JPX, CVM, The ICE, SASB.
