Banking on Climate Chaos names JPMorgan Chase the world's largest fossil-fuel financier: $58 billion in 2025, up 12.6%, after it dropped its coal and Arctic exclusions. Its operational emissions are falling, but its financed emissions, the main footprint, are reported for eight sectors only and have intensity targets, not absolute ones. No SBTi target was found, and it has left Climate Action 100+ and the Equator Principles.
