Description
The Biden administration’s push to put the World Bank in charge of an
international fund that would require historically high-emitting wealthy
countries to pay poorer countries for climate damages is threatening to
shake up United Nations’ climate talks in November. POLITICO’s Zack
Colman breaks down why the US prefers the World Bank, the concerns from
developing countries, and the broader negotiations over the fund. Plus,
scientists say the U.S could achieve net-zero climate emissions by
2050 thanks to new federal investments.
