Comment on Major banks neglect energy transition risks from mining as demand booms

Really weird title. TL;dr: ESG-conscious banks fail to account for the impact of mining in their accounting.
I see this kind of articles as a good thing: mining is a polluting process that can be much cleaner but lacks incentives to do it. The only incentive right now is to be the cheapest. If some actors start accepting to pay an extra for ethically and environmentally friendly mining, the industry can change.
