Now in overtime, UN climate talks continue

Now in overtime, UN climate talks continue UN climate negotiations are in overtime in Azerbiajan as countries scramble to land a deal on how to finance the damages brought on by climate change. DETROW: Now, these annual climate summits almost always run into overtime, but this year's talks have been contentious, with some countries walking out. This year, the Biden administration says it supplied $11 billion in climate finance, but even if Trump undoes that commitment, some funding could continue, like from the World Bank, which the U.S. actually contributes to. SOMMER: I mean, so far the U.S. has been cutting its carbon emissions, in part because of the Biden administration's flagship climate law.
