The Federal Reserve has made a move that cements its nod to the risk that climate change could pose to the financial system.
In a statement released Tuesday, the central bank said it has formally joined a global peer group that is addressing climate’s impact on finance. The Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System, as it’s called, was formed in 2017 and now has 83 members from around the world. The U.S. already had been an informal participant for more than a year.
