South Korea is chasing a coal-free future in efforts to slash carbon emissions, an ambitious goal for the fossil fuel-dependent country.

NEW YORK – Three civil rights groups filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging President Donald Trump's executive order that prohibits federal agencies, contractors and grant recipients from offering certain diversity training that the president deems “anti-American." The lawsuit argued that Trump's order violates free speech rights and strangles workplace attempts to address systemic race and sex discrimination. The National Urban League and the National Fair Housing Alliance both have federal contracts and plan to apply for future ones. Critics say Trump's order twists President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1965 initiative into vehicle for white grievances. The lawsuit, however, said the wording of the order is overly broad and is already having a chilling effect on diversity training.
