CCUA, in collaboration with the Canada Climate Law Initiative, recently published a Climate Risk and Governance Guide for Board Directors entitled Canadian Credit Unions and Effective Climate Governance: Cooperating for a Sustainable Future.

This guide emphasizes the importance of understanding directors’ duties, cooperative principles, and the profound effects of extreme weather events on credit union members. It serves as a valuable resource for directors in providing a deeper understanding the legal landscape, physical and transition risks associated with climate change, and the best practices developed globally. The guide also offers practical suggestions for board oversight and emphasizes the importance of engaging with members to align their credit unions’ commitments with transitioning to a more sustainable economy.
