      COP27 climate reparations and democracy activists fear Elon's Twitter

      At COP27, the UN's conference on climate change this week, countries in the Global South are calling for a loss and damage compensation fund. And for the first time, it's actually on the agenda. The central argument for the fund is that the countries most vulnerable to climate change are the least responsible for the emissions contributing to the climate crisis. Advocates for the fund say that the highest carbon-emitting countries, like the U.S. and those in the European Union, should financially help countries like Pakistan, for example, deal with flood relief. On Nothing is Foreign this week: the case for climate reparations, the pushback against them, and why they aren't enough for many living in climate-vulnerable countries. Plus, activists across Asia are concerned about Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter, and what it might mean for their freedom to express dissent. We hear from a few of them. Featuring: - Nickson Barry, regional chair of the Caribbean Youth Environmental Network based in Saint Lucia. - Harjeet Singh, head of global political strategy at Climate Action Network International. - Yaqiu Wang, senior researcher on China for Human Rights Watch.
