Pisha Singh: The global south looks at the inaction of the global north and says, we're furious with you. We've also seen a resistance to that sort of separate money from countries in the global north,. So it's been a can kick down the road for many, many years.

Guest: Somini Sengupta, the international climate reporter for The New York Times.
