Climate-Related Financial Risk Efforts
July 28, 2022

WASHINGTON — The Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council) convened today and
received an update on progress made by the Council and its members to identify and address
climate-related financial risk. In its October 2021 Report on Climate Related Financial Risk, the
FSOC identified climate change as an emerging threat to financial stability and issued over 30
related recommendations to financial regulators. The Council and its 15 members have been
working in close coordination since the report to advance these recommendations, and have
made considerable progress in the areas of capacity building, disclosure, data, and risk
assessment. Climate-related financial risk has been a key priority since 2021, and the Council
has also established a new sta -level interagency committee to coordinate these e orts. The
accompanying factsheet released today details the progress made to-date by the FSOCʼs
members in implementing the climate-related financial risk reportʼs recommendations. As
climate change continues and associated economic costs are expected to grow, the Council
recognizes the critical importance of ensuring the resilience of the financial system.
