The biggest covenant of banks against climate change has lifted itself. The banks of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) promised to bring their activities in line with climate goals, but since Donald Trump reigns, large American banks have left the Alliance.
A spokesperson says that the NZBA, to which ING, Rabobank and ABN Amro are affiliated, will immediately stop with its activities. In August the Alliance already announced that it would suspend the activities to ask members how they see the future of the initiative.
Members of the NZBA promised to bring their financing and investments in line with the aim of not expanding CO2 by balance in 2050. But Trump and his Republican party threatened in the US with punitive measures against banks that have such a climate policy and, for example, borrow less from the oil industry.
Banks from Canada, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom and Switzerland also left the Alliance. Many banks do indicate that they retain sustainable objectives.
The criticism of the Climate Association not only came from Trump, who recently described climate change as a scam. The climate movement is also critical because the banks of the climate alliance would do too little to reduce the financing of the fossil industry.
The Dutch Triodos Bank, which is of paramount importance, has already withdrawn from the Alliance. The bank found the agreements about climate failing.
