Participating in CNN’s “Climate Crisis” town hall on Sep. 4, Senator and 2020 Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said he supports U.S.-taxpayer funded birth control projects in poor countries around the world in order to combat climate change.

CNN hosted seven hours of town halls on the topic with ten 2020 democratic presidential candidates on Wednesday. Each candidate was given a 40-minute segment and took questions from a live audience.
