U.N. prepares to spend money to fight climate change

(Markets Edition) A fund from the United Nations has announced how it’s going to spend money to combat climate change, and those efforts include efficient European cities and harvesting geothermal energy in Indonesia. We also check in with Julia Coronado as the euro has experienced another decline as of Monday morning. Then we head out to Flagstaff, Arizona and the campus of Northern Arizona University. The school has doubled the number of students and its growth isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Today’s show has been sponsored by GAIN Capital Group (gaincapital.com), Michigan Economic Development Corporation (planetm.com) and PayPal (paypal.com).
