Trump pulled the US out of the Network for Greening the Financial System last year, leaving Europe to take the lead on climate-related risks without the involvement of the world’s most powerful economy.
Dutch banker and lawyer Elderson said the banking industry remained convinced that climate and nature-related risks had to be addressed.
“I would think it’s very difficult to find a bank in Europe that will honestly tell you that they think this is not relevant,” he said.
