Young climate activists to rich nations: ‘If you break it, you have to pay for it’

Climate change affects all of us - but not equally. 

There are those from poorer countries, already starting out with fewer resources and often living in environments that face more extreme climate challenges. And there are the young, who will spend more of their lives dealing with the damage. 

With COP27 underway, three climate activists - Mitzi Jonelle Tan from the Philippines, Iranian-Amiercan climate scientist Sophia Kianni, and Farzana Furuk Jhumu from Bangladesh - discuss what needs to be done to address the climate imbalance.
