CFTC Withdraws 2022 Climate RFI
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is formally withdrawing its June 8, 2022 "Request for Information on Climate-Related Financial Risk" as of March 16, 2026. The 2022 RFI had sought public responses about climate-related financial risk as pertinent to the derivatives markets and underlying commodities markets; the Commission says the January 20, 2025 revocation of Executive Order 14030 by Executive Order 14154 and existing Commission regulations are the basis for the withdrawal.
