Filipino Climate Activist Yeb Saño on COP27, Climate Reparations & Philippines' New President Marcos

This week U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Philippines, where she said the U.S. would defend the Philippines “in the face of intimidation and coercion" from China and vowed to expand the U.S. military presence in the country even after former bases leaked toxic waste into the environment. We recently spoke about the environment and more with Filipino activist Yeb Saño at the U.N. climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. He was previously the chief climate negotiator for the Philippines and is now executive director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia. Saño describes the "loss and damage" fund negotiated between the Global North and Global South as an "expression of human solidarity." He also discusses Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s commitments to climate action, as well as the threats faced by Filipino environmental activists.
