U.S. climate aid pledge runs into Capitol Hill reality: "“It’s a failure on climate finance. There was a need to fight harder for this, and to make it a priority. And I think looking at these numbers, it’s hard to say that it was prioritized.” https://www.eenews.net/articles/u-s-climate-aid-pledge-runs-into-capitol-hill-reality/ #climate

Congress Offers $1 Billion for Climate Aid, Falling Short of Biden’s Pledge: "Biden could still meet his $11.4 billion annual goal but said it would be a 'steep climb' and would require changes at agencies where the administration has significant influence" https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/20/climate/congress-climate-finance-biden.html #climate

Congress Poised to Torpedo Biden’s Climate Finance Commitment. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-20/congress-poised-to-torpedo-biden-s-climate-finance-commitment?sref=vdNmoUVL from @jendlouhyhc #climate

My reaction to the Congressional spending bill: “This is a failure for international climate finance. The U.S. invests less money for international climate finance than Spain who has an economy 16 times smaller. This will damage the ability of the U.S. to spur greater climate action outside its borders and continue to put the most vulnerable on the front lines of climate damage. The U.S. must do better if it wants to be a climate leader.” https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/SFOPS%20FY%2023.pdf #climate
