Manage episode 365513672 series 2562330

But the UAE’s efforts and its host status are facing significant criticism from lawmakers and environmentalists in both the United States and Europe. POLITICO’s Zack Colman breaks down why the UAE is trying to green its image and the pushback it’s facing. Plus, a bipartisan duo in the Senate introduced legislation Wednesday that would take the first step toward penalizing imports of high-polluting goods.
