Senate approves legislation to end shutdown. And, where climate change efforts stand

The Senate has approved legislation aimed at ending the government shutdown, with the House set to vote on a bipartisan bill to finalize the process. This legislative action is crucial as it addresses the immediate financial stability of the government. Concurrently, at COP30, new data reveals that global efforts to meet climate goals are still significantly lacking, highlighting the ongoing challenges in combating climate change.
