Clean Air Task Force Response to Request for Information on Climate-Related Financial Risk

Clean Air Task Force (CATF) and the Natural Capital Exchange (NCX) submitted a response to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) request for information on climate-related financial risk.

CATF and NCX wholeheartedly support the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s efforts to gather valuable information on best practices for fostering healthy and well-regulated carbon markets. Without substantial oversight, the derivatives market has the potential to incur a large amount of risk, misinform or defraud investors, and ultimately create a net negative impact on the climate.
