TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting.

VERBATIM: A U-N report says the majority of developing nations are set to miss out on the economic benefits of booming green technologies. That would slow progress toward their climate goals and widen the inequality gap between rich and poor countries. Electric vehicles, solar and wind energy and green hydrogen are projected to reach a market value of $2.1 trillion by 2030, four times higher than they’re worth today.
