Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
Climate change presents financial risk to the global economy.
Financial markets need clear, comprehensive, high-quality information on the impacts of climate change. This includes the risks and opportunities presented by rising temperatures, climate-related policy, and emerging technologies in our changing world.
The Financial Stability Board created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to improve and increase reporting of climate-related financial information.

TCFD consultation: October 29, 2020 – January 27, 2021
Through public consultation, the Task Force aims to better understand the evolution of forward-looking climate-related metrics used and disclosed by asset owners, asset managers, banks, and insurance companies.
Prior to participating in the consultation, we encourage firms to read the Task Force’s consultation document, which provides a brief background and context on climate-related metrics for the financial sector. Our consultation questionnaire seeks input on the usefulness and challenges of forward-looking metrics and invites suggestions on ways to enhance their comparability, transparency, and rigor.
