FFF would mandate the Federal Reserve (Fed) to require the largest banks, those with more than $50 billion in assets, to submit and follow a plan for achieving zero financed emissions by 2050. The plan would have the following elements:
- No financing of new or expanded fossil fuel projects after 2022
- No financing for thermal coal projects or companies after 2024
- No financing of any fossil fuel projects after 2030
- A 50% reduction in the bank’s financed emissions by 2030
Environmental Justice: The bill also mandates that the Fed require the plans to account for the needs of the communities who are suffering the most from environmental racism.
