Strengthening The Financial System To Meet The Challenge Of Climate Change, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard At The Financial System & Climate Change: A Regulatory Imperative Hosted By The Center For American Progress, Washington, D.C. Date
18/12/2020
I want to thank the Center for American Progress for inviting me to join you in discussing climate change and the U.S. financial system.1 Let me start by noting these are my own views and do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Open Market Committee.
Climate change and the transition to a sustainable economy have important implications for the financial system. The financial system can be a powerful enabler to help the private sector manage climate-related risks and invest in the transition. It is vitally important to strengthen the U.S. financial system to meet the challenge of climate change.

Four years of science denial and regulatory backtracking have amplified the urgency to confront climate change. Absent national leadership, cities and communities have once again taken the lead in promoting nimble approaches to sustainability, renewable energy and environmental progress. For this event we will talk about some of the innovative ideas and promising solutions for energy and the environment that Next City has reported on this year.
The best of these approaches center environmental justice in underserved neighborhoods and empower low-income communities. Join us to hear more about innovations that include: electric school buses that reduce diesel pollution and send energy back to the city grid while charging; versatile and temporary installations that turn vacant properties into healthy, usable public spaces; programs that give low-income residents increased access to renewable energy; and more.

Introduction and summary
The United States has been the global leader in climate science for decades. Unfortunately, progress has slowed and in some cases, even moved backward over the past four years, with the Trump administration dismantling core elements of the federal climate science apparatus. As the country and the planet head toward an increasingly unstable climate, the U.S. government needs to get back to the business of being the preeminent source of trusted applied science that supports climate change mitigation and adaptation decision-making of governments and civilian stakeholders.
