We're heading towards COP31, the annual United Nations climate conference where governments from around the world come together to negotiate and make decisions on how to tackle climate change and the climate crisis. This year's meeting takes place in Antalya, Türkiye, and there's plenty at stake, from climate finance and the transition away from fossil fuels to the support needed by countries already dealing with the effects of climate change. So, what should we be looking out for, particularly from the perspective of the Global South? To explore this and more, we speak to Meenakshi Raman, the President of Sahabat Alam Malaysia and the Deputy Executive Director of the Third World Network.
