Rostin Behnam, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)
Commissioner, and Sarah Bloom Raskin, former Deputy Treasury
Secretary and Federal Reserve Board Governor, speak about the risks
that climate change poses to the stability of our financial system.
In the US, central bankers and financial regulators have been slow
to adopt an understanding of the detrimental impacts of climate
change, but Commissioner Behnam is attempting to change that. This
episode is a fascinating conversation about a topic that is
unfortunately only growing in prominence as we continue to see more
and more severe weather events.
