Among others, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) are explicitly linked to climate protection (SDG 13). To promote this goal, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has implemented voluntary guidelines for climate reporting. These recommendations aim to improve and increase the reporting of climate-related financial information. In this context, the following chapter has various objectives. First, this analysis presents the similarities and differences between the SDGs and the TCFD guidelines. Then, a theoretical framework and a review of empirical research on climate reporting will follow. After stressing major research gaps and deducing research recommendations, the future development of TCFD reporting with a focus on the European and global standard setting process will be described.
