SB 253 Explained: Scope 3 Reporting & CARB's Climate Disclosure Rules | Stephanie Jones (EDF)

Stephanie Jones, Senior Attorney for Climate Risk at Environmental Defense Fund, helps unpack California's SB 253, one of the country's leading corporate climate disclosure laws, and where CARB's rulemaking stands heading into its final stretch this year. We cover: • What SB 253 actually requires and who it covers • Why emission factor quality and transparency matter so much for useful scope 3 reporting • The importance of Scope 3 reporting across all categories • How CARB can adapt standards in response to future protocol changes • How companies and practitioners can still weigh in before CARB presents its regulation to the board this December Stephanie also points listeners to EDF's Net Zero Action Accelerator at netzeroaction.org for practical resources on measuring, disclosing, and reducing value chain greenhouse gas emissions.
