Climate Finance Action

Climate Finance Action works state by state to build power among local community groups, workers and their unions, large companies, and state governments to pressure asset managers to adopt specific, effective policies to align with limiting global warming to under 2ºC.

We organize stakeholder groups in key cities, states and workplaces and provide training, research, coordination, and strategic support. We have three main pillars of work.

We use a winning combination of deep union expertise, financial experience and coalition building to provide education and strategy to ensure financial decision makers use the tools they have to address the economic risk of the climate crisis.

Climate Finance Action is a women-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Purpose

We seek to create a world where capital investments ensure a sustainable future.

We founded CFA because we knew that trillions of dollars in workers' savings was not accounting for climate risk as a material financial risk and had untapped power to fight climate change.

Typically, workers and retirees' money is held in public state pensions or employer plans that are managed by asset managers and other investment professionals. As major shareholders in a wide range of publicly traded corporations, these asset managers have tremendous power over the leadership, policies, and priorities of the companies in which they invest. These asset managers can set the standard for how companies respond to the climate crisis.
