Climate Change: America and the World – Episode 1: Climate Change and Global Responsibility LSE: The Ballpark

Contributor(s): Professor Kathryn Hochstetler, Christopher Callahan, Mohid Rehman Malik | What is the US’ role in the climate crisis, and can a climate change framework exist without addressing climate change reparations and the different experiences of climate change across the globe? In the first episode of Climate Change: America and the World, Professor Kathryn Hochstetler and Christopher Callahan discuss the experiences of climate change in the Global North and Global South. The discussion examines the role that international climate frameworks, including annual global COP summits, play in providing a venue for developing nations to voice their climate grievances, and whether financial compensation is needed to effectively address unequal climate damages.
This episode was produced by Mohid Malik, Anderson Tan, and Chris Gilson.
