The majority of pollution, particularly in the global south, is indoor pollution. Women cooking over stoves based on firewood that they've had to travel far to collect. They are inhaling these fumes day in, day out. And it's interesting that it's only in a few years, with thelouth climate strikes and the last report in two thousand and 18 from the inter governmental panel on climate change, that really the global north has woken up to the clima crisis.
As the COP26 global climate summit takes place, many are asking who is really responsible for the climate emergency and who might be able to prevent it? Dr Anne Karpf is a writer and sociologist whose recent book, How Women Can Save the Planet, looks to analyse some of these questions in more granular detail. The BBC's South Asia correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan speaks with Anne to learn more about the book.
