Better Markets’ Work Addressing Climate Change in Finance

Better Markets fights throughout the economic and financial rulemaking and policymaking processes for an economy that works for all Americans, and a financial system that supports the productive economy, jobs, small businesses, community banks, and Main Street families, workers, and investors.  That’s a financial system that minimizes socially useless wealth extraction and generates broad based wealth creation, enabling rising living standards as well as economic, social, and racial justice.

In addition to the existential crisis it poses, climate change looms as an inevitable trigger of profound instability and eventual crisis in our financial system and our entire economy if it is not aggressively attacked on all fronts.  Better Markets takes a holistic approach and is active across all the financial regulatory agencies plus the White House, Congress and the media (as summarized here), while taking a comprehensive approach as mapped out in our Arc of Advocacy.

While there are numerous other activities that accompany our climate-related work, here is a comprehensive list of the climate-related documents we have created/distributed:

SEC

Federal Reserve

FDIC

CFTC

OCC

Treasury

Basel Committee
