The financial sector appears to be getting cold feet about efforts to curb the effects of climate change. Five of the six largest banks in the United States have pulled out of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) since Dec. 6th, according to a recent report by Reuters.

From Goldman Sachs to Morgan Stanley, the largest banks in the U.S. announced departures from an international climate group in recent weeks.

New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal said he’s going to “supercharge” his push for a corporate climate disclosure measure, similar to one adopted in California, that would require all large companies to disclose their planet-warming emissions, including “Scope 3” pollution from financing and lending activities.

Then nation's largest bank JPMorgan said Tuesday its leaving the Net Zero Banking Alliance, completing a mass exodus of Wall Street financial giants from the key climate group.
