Celsius, avoid ecosystem and biodiversity collapse, and ensure an equitable future require funding. At every stage—development of technology, validation, implementation, and scaling—the expenses must be covered, and the costs and benefits of the necessary transitions must be shared equitably. Increased risks from intensifying extreme weather events threaten the stability of businesses, the security of borrowers, and the health of banks and their loan portfolios. And as financial systems shift along with our changing climate, we need to be prepared for wide-reaching impacts.

Here are our current priorities:</span></p> <h5 dir="ltr">Integrate climate risk into financial regulations</h5> <p dir="ltr"><span>With our advocacy partners, we’re providing federal banking regulatory agencies with recommendations on how to incorporate climate risk into examinations of individual banks. This guidance is geared to stave off a collapse like the 2008–2009 mortgage crisis by helping </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/experts/sarah-dougherty/time-next-step-climate-risk"><span>identify unsound activities or assets</span></a><span> that could destabilize these institutions and the banking system as a whole. We also have been pushing for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a regulator of the stock market, to mandate disclosures showing investors how public companies are planning for the impacts of climate change. Finally, we’re raising awareness of environmental impacts from the burgeoning crypto industry and championing ways to rein them in. We advocate for federal and state regulators to guide the industry away from its current energy-intensive method of verifying transactions and to focus on tackling its massive e-waste problem.</span></p> <h5 dir="ltr">Boost investment in climate solutions</h5> <p><span>From our work to scale up federal investment into renewables and </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/experts/irene-nielson/rapid-test-finds-new-energy-justice-opportunities-doe"><span>clean energy for all</span></a><span> to our partnerships that help low-income communities of color </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/stories/defender-energy-efficiency-and-equity"><span>access energy efficiency upgrades</span></a><span> and reduce utility costs to our policy guidance helping </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/experts/hilary-firestone/25-cities-demonstrate-how-major-climate-wins-are-possible"><span>25 U.S. cities step up climate action</span></a><span> in their building and transportation sectors, we’re advancing a wide variety of climate solutions. We’re also working to scale up funding for climate-resilient infrastructure and green energy markets in India, such as through supporting </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/stories/when-extreme-heat-hits-indias-slums-these-women-cool-things-down-and-save-lives"><span>sustainable cooling initiatives</span></a><span> and by providing a road map to help bring in new investors and attract international capital for the country’s </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/experts/sameer-kwatra/unlocking-indias-offshore-wind-market"><span>offshore wind</span></a><span> market. Ultimately, we seek to finance the development of new green economic sectors globally that bring greater job opportunities and durable growth. </span></p> </div> </div> <div class="l-page__main"> <div class="c-callout--secondary theme-yellow c-callout"> <h3 class="c-callout__title"><p>Did You Know?</p></h3> <div class="c-callout__subtitle"> <p><span>We need $100 trillion to $150 trillion to limit warming and build resilience.

As part of this work, we’ve joined with the </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/experts/alfonso-pating/supporting-green-transition-chinas-financial-system"><span>Climate Investment and Finance Association</span></a><span> to convene stakeholders from domestic and international research institutes, government agencies, and banks to deepen the country’s implementation of and investment in its carbon neutrality goals. And we’ve worked to demonstrate how public funds work alongside private capital to accelerate the growth of clean energy markets throughout the country. </span></p> <h5 dir="ltr">Ramp up international climate funding from the federal government</h5> <p dir="ltr"><span>While wealthy nations have fallen short of their international climate finance pledges made at past United Nations summits, </span><a href="https://www.nrdc.org/stories/rich-polluting-nations-still-owe-developing-world"><span>we cannot let them off the hook</span></a><span>. Given the size of the U.S. economy and its historical contribution to the climate crisis, NRDC is calling on our federal government to do more—specifically, to invest at least $12 billion per year by 2024—in order to fund mitigation and adaptation measures in those countries that are least responsible for, yet hardest hit by, climate change. With larger investments, developing countries can more quickly achieve the global emissions cuts we need within this decade and adapt to unavoidable climate impacts.</span></p> <h5 dir="ltr">Use public funds to catalyze private investment </h5> <p dir="ltr"><span>We’re working with a wide range of stakeholders to help transform the role of public finance institutions at the local, regional, and global levels to build up private investment in climate action.
