Description

This year's COP27 in Egypt was initially hailed as a milestone, finally a summit on climate change on the African continent, home to dozens of countries that face the dangers of rising sea levels, as well as desertification and droughts due to the destabilizing effects of global warming. But delegates had little to cheer about after the global meeting concluded - the creation of a fund for loss and damage for poorer nations was one small win, but nothing agreed on the phasing out of fossil fuels or emissions that made any meaningful difference since the last pledges made at COP26 in Glasgow. The EU's Green Chief summed up the conference by saying, "The world will not thank us when they hear only excuses tomorrow." In this special episode of One Decision, we go to two nations ravaged by the effects of climate change - the Pacific Island Nation of Kiribati and Pakistan.
