In this podcast, we examine what 'decent' living standards mean for people in low-income countries – including energy access and transport infrastructure – and how these are critically linked with the urgent need to reduce global carbon emissions. Join UCL experts Professor Priti Parikh, Professor Jing Meng and Dr Simon Chin-Yee as they discuss what's needed to lift living standards for low-income countries in the global climate crisis, and the role that high-income nations can play.
