Highlights
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a report in September 2020 highlighting the risk that climate change poses to the stability of the U.S. financial system and the economy. The report, Managing Climate Risk in the U.S. Financial System, was a detailed study of the topic that will provide insights to the Biden Administration s team of regulators.
The CFTC report emphasized that regulators have sufficient existing legislative authority to begin addressing climate-related risks now, through better oversight, risk management and disclosures.
Major findings in the report include: 1) More consistent, reliable and comparable data is needed to make this task meaningful and manageable, 2) regulators and companies can use scenario planning and climate stress testing to reduce climate risks, and 3) an economy-wide price on carbon would allow financial markets to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions more efficiently.

Kurt Cole faced a dilemma seven years ago. He needed to expand his east-central Alberta farm but didn’t have the cash to do it. Three of his five daughters and their families wanted to move back home, and he had an opportunity to double his acreage by acquiring a cousin’s nearby land.
The $7-million price tag was hefty, and a mortgage would have been crushing – an all-too-common worry among farmers. After a year of studying options, he settled on an unusual private-equity firm that invests solely in farm operations. Area One Farms, led by chief executive Joelle Faulkner, invests alongside farmers and helps them expand and build up more sustainable operations. So far, it’s worked out.
