Ever since the historic Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2015, the
oil and gas industry has grown bigger than ever despite countries
ramping up efforts to rein in their greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a
reality that climate negotiators must face as the United Nations Climate
Change Conference begins at the end of this month. POLITICO’s Ben
Lefebvre breaks down why the industry has grown. Plus, the Biden
administration unveiled $2 billion in funding that will go directly to
fund projects in communities facing disproportionate pollution and
environmental harms.
