World governments have made little progress in setting up a historic new
fund that would distribute millions of dollars in financial assistance
to the nations most impacted by climate change. Sara Schonhardt from

the fund and how that could impede progress for vulnerable nations and
future international climate talks. Plus, Agriculture Secretary Tom
