In 2008, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private-lending arm of the World Bank Group, provided the financing necessary to enable the construction of the Tata Mundra coal-fired power plant in Gujarat, India.

In a World Altered by Climate Change, it’s Time Companies Tell Us Whether They Can Adapt

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s new proposed rules would require companies to disclose how they manage climate-related risks and what their emissions actually are.

SCOTUS Denies Maxima Acuña Atalaya and family’s petition to hear their case

This week, the United States Supreme Court declined a petition submitted by Maxima Acuña Atalaya and her family in July to hear their case.
