Odin Knudsen, the JPMorgan Chase & Co. managing director for environmental markets, resigned last month as the largest U.S. lender scaled back its climate-related practice.
Knudsen, 68, left the New York-based lender by mutual agreement after it became apparent the U.S. was not going to join a global system to trade carbon emissions, undermining the bank’s business plans, he said in a Nov. 21 phone interview. JPMorgan spokesman Brian Marchiony declined to comment.
