Billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s philanthropy is stepping in to help fund the United States’s annual contribution to the UN’s main climate body after President Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris climate agreement upon taking office this week. Unnamed other funders will join Bloomberg Philanthropies, which did not say how much it will contribute. Last year, the United States’s required contribution was $7.4 million. In a statement, Bloomberg, who is a UN special envoy on climate change, said he would work with state and local governments and businesses “to ensure that the U.S. stayed on track with its global climate obligations.” (Reuters)

For others, shelters and churches are bringing in more people than they have beds and extending hours. (Boston Globe)
