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.”
