A group of congressional Democrats is calling on JPMorgan Chase and
Wells Fargo to stop working with the conservative State Financial
Officers Foundation, which Democratic lawmakers say spreads
misinformation about sustainable and green investing. POLITICO’s Jordan
Wolman discusses why this issue is attracting attention from Democrats,
how influential the foundation has been across the country and the
response from banks as they navigate accusations about their ESG
policies from Democrats and Republicans. Plus, Special Climate Envoy
John Kerry and his Chinese counterpart have directly communicated in
recent days but climate talks between the countries remain in “limbo.”
