Press & Media

Climate Finance Action has provided expert research and commentary on public pension funds, climate risk, fiduciary duty, and in-state investment strategies.

For six years, Climate Finance Action worked at the intersection of public finance, labor, and climate resilience, ensuring pension funds, trustees, and stakeholders understand and have the tools to mitigate long-term systemic risk while pursuing responsible investment strategies.

Effective October 31, 2026, CFA will close its doors.

The commentary and press coverage below reflect CFA’s work. We are deeply grateful to everyone who made it possible — the workers, trustees, organizers, funders, and partners who believed public capital should serve people and the planet. Thank you for everything you did to enable this work.
