S2 | Ep4: What Can the UN Actually Do About Climate?

This episode of 'Damages' explores the lack of progress in achieving compensation for climate change damages caused by fossil fuels. It discusses the impacts of super typhoons and calls for assistance from rich countries. The history of rich countries reneging on their commitment to provide climate funds is explored, as well as the role of fossil fuel lobbyists in denying climate science. The podcast also delves into tactics employed at UN climate negotiations, the historical context of colonialism and fossil fuels, and the inadequate response to climate change.
