About this episode
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 POLITICO’s E&E News breaks down why wealthy countries are fighting over the fund and how that could impede progress for vulnerable nations and future international climate talks. Plus, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is predicting that the Biden administration will increase the availability of gasoline blends containing 15 percent ethanol across the country next year.
