NPR: Republicans plan more attacks on ESG. Investors still plan to focus on climate risk

Republicans are planning to use their control of the House of Representatives in 2023 to intensify attacks on companies that account for climate-related risks when they’re making investment decisions. However, voters seem to think that investors should be free to act on concerns about climate risk.
