US Treasury Department Withdraws From Global Regulatory Climate Change Group
The U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday it was withdrawing from a global body of central banks and regulators devoted to exploring ways to police climate risk in the financial system.
“The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Federal Insurance Office (FIO) today notified the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) that it is withdrawing its membership,” the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.

FERC Terminates Draft Policy Statement on Climate Change Impacts of Natural Gas Infrastructure
Under the direction of Chairman Christie, President Trump’s new appointee to lead the agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order revoking the draft policy statement that would have assessed the upstream and downstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and associated climate change impacts of natural gas infrastructure projects.
High-level overview
By revoking its Interim GHG Policy Statement, FERC has signalled that it will not assess certain disclosures of GHG emissions of infrastructure projects. FERC will continue to perform environmental reviews on each natural gas pipeline certificate application under its jurisdiction but will operate on a “case-by-case” basis oriented on the characteristics of each project. The decision follows several years of federal appeals court decisions which have often remanded orders back to FERC due to insufficient consideration of climate change impacts, which served as a driving factor in the agency contemplating updates to its Policy Statement. Operating under a new chairman, FERC is ostensibly aligning with the energy policy agenda—as shown by the Executive Orders issued in the first week—of the second Trump administration.
Here’s hoping this continues on into every federal agency.
