Raksha Kumar tries to draw a straight line between negotiations in COP30 in South America and UN Tax Convention in Africa and tries to understand how just taxation can help fund the climate crises. Her guests are Anirban Bhattacharya of the Center for Financial Accountability who helps her draw the linkages.
