To all concerned with climate finance! In my article published in @climate-policy.bsky.social, I find that overlooking the influence of banks’ types of equity on sustainable lending narrows the scope of analysis and limits the tools available to reach Paris-aligned portfolios. See abstract for more!

Interesting find, although classifying environmental protest as 'cultural' strikes me as odd. Climate change is dangerous for both human rights and the economy, and requires an economic transformation of big corporations to address it
Authors find increase in cultural protest (left: war, enviro, + right: anti-immigrant, anti-EU, and both: Covid pro and anti-containment measures) across Europe and diminishing economic protests, which are typically led by unions. Where is European labor these days?

Heat waves, droughts, floods, and extreme weather affect the economy and the financial system. Ignoring the risks doesn't make them go away.
Federal regulators have rescinded a requirement that the nation’s largest financial institutions factor climate risks into their long-term planning, a policy dating from the Biden administration.
Fed Rescinds Mandate That Banks Plan for Climate Risks
Financial regulators said the Biden-era policy was superfluous. Democrats said it protected financial stability in an era of unpredictable weather.

Flashbacks keep on coming! Robust PSI (private sector involvement) mechanisms in sovereign crises were strongly resisted by the US government back in the day. But these days up is down and down is up I guess
Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.
Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.
So much for America First.
