The proposed guidance is also aimed at future supervised entities.  In addition, this consultation seeks feedback from systemically important Third Country Central Counterparties (Tier 2 TC CCPs).  Next steps ESMA will consider the feedback received to both consultations by 18 October 2024 and aims to publish a final report in Q1 2025.    Further information: Sarah Edwards Senior Communications Officerpress@esma.europa.eu 08/07/2024 ESMA84-2037069784-2169 Consultation Paper on the Guidelines on the submission of periodic information to ESMA by Benchmark Administrators, Credit Rating Agencies and Market Transparency Infrastructures 08/07/2024 ESMA84-2037069784-2168 Consultation Paper on the Supervisory expectations for the management body Consultation on reporting requirements and governance expectations for some supervised entities

The fight against climate change requires collective action — from governments, institutions, businesses and individuals. A good understanding of the climate challenge is essential for people to make informed choices. To assess the public’s understanding of climate change in France, the sixth edition of the EIB Climate Survey focuses on people’s knowledge of climate change in three key areas: definitions and causes, consequences, and solutions. Participants answered 12 questions and were ranked on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 indicating the highest level of knowledge. With over 30 000 respondents across 35 countries, including the EU Member States, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Japan, India and Canada, the EIB Climate Survey provides valuable insights into people’s overall understanding of climate change.
