Since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, many companies and corporations have made bold claims about their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and promoting environmentally sustainable practices. However, some banks have failed to live up to their promises and continue to fund projects that harm the planet. Here are some of the worst banks since the Paris Agreement:

1. JPMorgan Chase: JPMorgan Chase is the largest funder of fossil fuel projects in the world, with a total of $51.3 billion in funding since the Paris Agreement. Despite making public commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, the bank continues to fund coal, oil, and gas projects that contribute to climate change.

2. Wells Fargo: Wells Fargo has invested more than $151 billion in fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement, making it one of the largest funders of the industry. The bank has faced significant criticism for its unethical practices, including funding the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline.

3. Bank of America: Bank of America has invested over $106 billion into fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement, continuing to fund projects that contribute to global warming. Despite making commitments to reduce its environmental impact, the bank has failed to take significant action.

4. Citigroup: Citigroup has invested over $103 billion in fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement, making it one of the top funders of the industry. The bank has been criticized for failing to align its investments with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

5. Barclays: Barclays has invested over $85 billion in fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement, continuing to fund projects that harm the environment. The bank has faced significant criticism from environmental groups for its lack of action.

It is clear that these banks have prioritized their profits over their promises to reduce their environmental impact. As consumers, we have the power to demand change from these institutions. By choosing to do business with banks that prioritize sustainability and divest from fossil fuels, we can help create a more sustainable future.
