华盛顿特区，2025 年 3 月 27 日 —

The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to end its defense of the rules requiring disclosure of climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions.

美国证券交易委员会 （SEC） 今天投票决定终止对要求披露气候相关风险和温室气体排放的规则的辩护。

SEC Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda said, “The goal of today’s Commission action and notification to the court is to cease the Commission’s involvement in the defense of the costly and unnecessarily intrusive climate change disclosure rules.”

SEC 代理主席 Mark T. Uyeda 表示：“今天委员会采取行动和向法院通报的目标是停止委员会参与为代价高昂且不必要地侵扰性的气候变化披露规则辩护。

The rules, adopted by the Commission on March 6, 2024, create a detailed and extensive special disclosure regime about climate risks for issuing and reporting companies.

SEC于 2024 年 3 月 6 日通过的这些规则为发行和报告公司建立了有关气候风险的详细而广泛的特殊披露制度。

States and private parties have challenged the rules. The litigation was consolidated in the Eighth Circuit (Iowa v. SEC, No. 24-1522 (8th Cir.)), and the Commission previously stayed effectiveness of the rules pending completion of that litigation. Briefing in the cases was completed before the change in Administrations.

各州和私人政党都对这些规则提出了挑战。该诉讼在第八巡回法院（爱荷华州诉美国证券交易委员会，第 24-1522 号（第 8 巡回法院））合并，委员会此前在该诉讼完成之前保持规则的有效性。这些案件的简报是在政府换届之前完成的。

Following today’s Commission vote, SEC staff sent a letter to the court stating that the Commission withdraws its defense of the rules and that Commission counsel are no longer authorized to advance the arguments in the brief the Commission had filed. The letter states that the Commission yields any oral argument time back to the court.

在今天的委员会投票之后，SEC 工作人员向法院发送了一封信，称委员会撤回了对规则的辩护，并且委员会的律师不再有权推进委员会提交的简报中的论点。信中指出，委员会将任何口头辩论时间交还给法院。
