The Glacier Trust's UK Co-Director, Morgan Phillips talks to Asad Rehman, climate justice campaigner and executive director of War on Want. They discuss Asad's journey into climate change, the historic reluctance of the environmental movement to frame the climate crisis as a crisis of capitalism, the hesitancy that exists in some quarters to really spell out what justice means, the trouble we get into when we silo climate change off into camps like 'mitigation' and 'adaptation', and the tension that exists between global North countries who view the UNFCCC process as being about net zero goals, versus the global South who are asking for compensation for losses and damage, and funding for adaptation.

The interview was recorded remotely in summer 2021.
