Climate Risk Scorecard

The 2024 Climate Risk Scorecard, produced by the Ceres Accelerator for Sustainable Capital Markets, assesses 10 federal financial agencies on their actions to protect our capital markets, financial institutions, and communities from climate-related financial risks.

About these assessments

Ceres’ annual Climate Risk Scorecard assesses the actions that U.S. federal financial regulators take within their existing authority to address the systemic impacts of climate-related financial risk. The first iteration, published in 2021, found that regulators were behind in acting on these threats. The 2022 Scorecard showed that agencies had made significant progress in addressing climate financial risk. The 2023 iteration found that 10 agencies collectively took over 100 public actions to address climate-related financial risk between July 2022 and June 2023.

The 2024 Climate Risk Scorecard report summarizes the progress that 10 U.S. federal financial agencies - Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury - have taken towards implementing critical change designed to address climate-related financial risks between July 2023 through November 2024.
