Digital, standardized climate and sustainability data is less costly, more granular, and better quality than data prepared in static documents. It's also an ideal resource for artificial intelligence platforms because the contextualized nature of standardized data enables more robust, granular, accurate analysis. Global regulators have already embraced digital reporting for climate data, from GHG emissions to sustainability narratives. They recognize that digital reporting generates data that is consistent, interoperable, and more functional, and it can reduce the reporting burden for companies complying with more than one regulator.

This roundtable brings together representatives from the accounting, sustainability, investment, corporate, and standard setter communities to share ideas, discuss the continuously changing landscape of climate reporting mandates, and consider how stakeholders can work together to improve the efficiency of reporting while helping companies move towards net-zero goals.

The program will start with special remarks from NY State Assemblymember Deborah J. Glick on legislative initiatives to address the need for high quality consistent data to assess the impact of corporate GHG emissions on New York.

This event:

  • Provides an overview of global and state-specific climate disclosure mandates
  • Explores best practices for digitizing and managing corporate climate data reporting

Prerequisites: None

Program Knowledge Level: Basic

Advance Preparation: Be familiar with U.S. and global climate requirements for corporate reporting

Assemblymember Deborah J. Glick

As a representative of Lower Manhattan for over 30 years, Deborah Glick has been a strong advocate for civil rights, reproductive freedom, animals and environmental preservation, the arts, and tenants' rights. Glick's recent legislative accomplishments include the passage of the Reproductive Health Act, codifying Roe v. Wade in New York State law, for which she was the lead sponsor; a bill requiring courts to consider the best interest of a companion animal when determining custody of the pet during a divorce proceeding; the renewal of the Loft Law, which brings formerly commercial buildings up to residential code and protects current tenants, many of whom are artists, from eviction; and a bill authorizing New York City to expand a life-saving speed safety camera program, allowing speed safety cameras to be installed in hundreds of school zones, an initiative proven to significantly reduce traffic crashes near schools.

Glick was the first openly LGBTQ member of the State legislature and was a leader in the fight for marriage equality. She has championed numerous bills establishing the rights of LGBTQ people and couples and was the primary sponsor of a Ban on the harmful practice of Conversion Therapy, and the Hospital Visitation Act, which established the rights of domestic partners to care for loved ones in medical facilities. She fought to pass the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act (SONDA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), which protects transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers from discrimination.

Glick chairs the Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation and also serves on the Ways and Means, Rules, and Governmental Operations Committees.

Glick was born and raised in Queens, New York, and has lived in Greenwich Village for over 40 years. She graduated with a bachelor's degree from Queens College and a Master of Business Administration from Fordham University.
