Description
Nearly 200 countries finalized a last-minute, historic agreement at the
United Nations Climate Change Conference to transition away from fossil
fuels. But some say the deal falls short of what needs to be done to
slow down climate change. POLITICO’s Zack Colman and Sara Schonhardt
break down the final COP28 deal, what’s missing, and where international
climate talks go from here. Plus, a new report from the North American
Electric Reliability Corporation warned that the United States could
face potential energy shortfalls in the next decade.
