The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is seeking public comment on climate-related financial risks that could inform the agency’s future guidance, interpretations, policy statements, and/or rulemaking.
The CFTC announced the request for information (RFI) on Thursday following the agency’s first-ever Voluntary Carbon Markets Convening. At the meeting, Chairman Rostin Behnam said the comment period would “seek feedback on all aspects of climate-related financial risk as it may pertain to the derivatives markets, underlying commodities markets, registered entities, registrants, and other market participants.”
