The first convening included Treasury staff and 40 participants from trade associations, coalitions, think tanks, networks, and other organizations that support state, local, territorial, and tribal governments. They discussed tools and resources for managing climate-related financial risk and integrating climate-related factors in capital and budget processes. Speakers and presenters included:

Treasury looks forward to additional convenings and supporting efforts by state, local, territorial and tribal government to adapt to the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change and the climate transition.
