UN climate conferences don't generally start off with a bang. But COP28 in Dubai this year did just that, when on day one a Loss and Damage fund was created to support developing nations hit hardest by climate change. It's been a 30-some year fight to get here for climate activists like Harjeet Singh, but he says the new fund is not enough.

How one key climate activist says civil society can hold top emitters accountable.

Guests: Harjeet Singh, Head of Global Political Strategy for Climate Action Network International; Andrew Freedman, senior climate reporter for Axios and co-author of the daily Axios Generate newsletter
