This year\u2019s edition of the United Nations climate summit, COP-28, concluded in Dubai earlier this week. It began with a lot of expectations \u2013 especially on the key issue of phasing out fossil fuels. In the end, a deal seems to have been worked out \u2013 to transition away from fossil fuels.\nWhat exactly does the \u2018Dubai Consensus\u2019 entail? What are the other major takeaways from the summit? What progress, if any, has been made on climate justice? And given the slow and limited progress in CoP meetings, are there alternative modes of collective decision-making on climate action?\nGuest: Kanchi Kohli, Researcher (Environment, Law and Governance) and co-author of the book \u2018Development of Environmental Laws in India\u2019.\nHost: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu.\nEdited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.
