Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson issued the following statement after JPMorgan Chase and BlackRock abandoned anti-agriculture climate policy commitments to the United Nation’s Net-Zero Banking Alliance:
“I was proud to stand with 11 other state agriculture commissioners demanding accountability from America’s largest banks over their commitments to left-wing, anti-agriculture, ESG-driven, and anti-consumer climate policies from the United Nation’s Net-Zero Banking Alliance. If these banks had their way, they would unilaterally force America’s farmers and ranchers – through the threat of withholding capital and financing – to adopt ‘green’ infrastructure, technology, and equipment. We will not stand idly by and allow unelected individuals and woke institutions to make unchecked decisions that would intentionally cripple American agriculture and threaten our food security and national security.”
