The CFRF is an industry group, co-chaired by the FCA and Bank of England, which was established in 2019 to bring together senior financial sector representatives to share best practice and knowledge on climate issues and accelerate financial sector firms’ capabilities to manage the risks and seize the opportunities presented by climate change.
