A new financial sector climate change initiative unveiled Wednesday included notable absences from Wall Street, raising questions about whether some of the biggest U.S. banks will follow through on sweeping sustainability pledges.
JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo weren’t among the initial signatories for the so-called Net-Zero Banking Alliance, even though counterparts Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Citigroup enlisted. The banking group is part of the broader Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero chaired by former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, now the UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance.

The Rockefeller Foundation, a 107-year-old philanthropy built by oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, says it will completely break with the fossil-fuel industry that seeded its wealth.
The $5 billion endowment is pledging to drop its fossil fuel holdingsUSO and, notably, is promising to avoid new investments in the sector, its leadership told CNN in an interview.
The pledge makes the Rockefeller Foundation the largest U.S. foundation to join this divestment movement in the interest of slowing man-made climate change’s negative effects on coastlines and in contributing to weather extremes. Among other divestors, New York State’s influential $226 billion pension fund, one of the world’s largest, has said it will eliminate many of its fossil-fuel stocks in the next five years.
