JPMorgan Chase is the world's largest fossil fuel financier ($434B since Paris Agreement) masquerading as a climate leader. It abandoned binding 2030 targets in 2024, withdrew from major climate commitments (NZBA, Climate Action 100+, Equator Principles), and shifted from 'commitments' to 'aspirations.' Operational emissions rose 4% year-on-year while financed emissions dwarf operational impact with no absolute reduction pathway.
