U.S. megabanks want to leave behind some green finance pledges in 2024.

Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Bank of America this week withdrew from an ambitious pandemic-era climate coalition designed to help drive a shift to reduce carbon emissions by businesses. That followed withdrawals over the past month by Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs from the United Nations-backed coalition, known as the Net-Zero Banking Alliance.

JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the nation by assets and the only major U.S. bank left in the coalition, is also considering withdrawing from it, a person familiar with the matter said. A JPMorgan spokeswoman said “the bank regularly evaluates memberships” to ensure they further its “client and business interests.”
