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.
