Climate change is pushing people to cross borders, especially the southern border of the U.S. , says Frida Ghitis .

Ghitis: Drought and other climate disasters will help propel more people north.

Climate finance is a nebulous category, and a lack of transparency about how the funds get spent can undermine the process.
