Nov 25, 2024
Asad Rayman, Director of War on Want, dives into the controversial petition for a general election in the UK, drawing over two million signatures, partially fueled by Elon Musk's influence. The discussion shifts to the COP29 climate finance deal, critiquing the inadequate funding for developing nations and the burdens of debt involved. Rayman emphasizes the urgent need for richer countries to take responsibility, particularly in light of recent climate crises, while exploring the disconnect between global promises and real-world action.
