U.S. and European leaders are urging transformation and an increase in
lending efforts by the World Bank to fight climate change, but have been
unwilling to provide additional funding to the institution. That’s
prompting questions about whether the bank can effectively fight climate
change alongside its traditional mandate of eradicating poverty, without
an increase in funding. POLITICO’S Zack Colman breaks down the proposed
transformation of the World Bank and the challenges. Plus, FERC will
tackle two embattled Texas LNG projects this week.
