Bill overview
The Respond Act of 2021 aims to address the economic impacts of climate change by requiring the Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission to report on climate-related economic costs. It also establishes a Federal Advisory Panel within the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board to advise on sustainable investment strategies, including transitioning to a low-carbon investment portfolio. Furthermore, the bill creates a new ‘Climate Choice Stock Index Fund’ within the Federal Employees Retirement System to avoid investments in fossil fuels, and mandates annual reports on climate change’s economic effects.
