Episode Description

Senior fellow at New Delhi based think-tank CSEP, Rahul Tongia, does a deep dive on India. It’s one of the world’s biggest emitters, but it’s also on the frontline of climate change; more than 80 percent of people live in places that are at risk of climate-induced disasters. Rahul explores whether their progress is fast enough, and whose responsibility it is to pay for those changes.
