At the 27th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), President Biden highlighted actions to address greenhouse gas emissions and protect the federal government’s supply chains from climate-related financial risks. The proposed Federal Supplier Climate Risks and Resilience Rule would require major federal contractors to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks and set science-based emissions reductions targets.
