From her roots as an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa to leading one of the world’s largest climate coalitions, Tasneem shares how decades of organizing, persistence, and people power reshape the global conversation on fossil fuels and justice.\nAs the world faces a widening gap between climate commitments and Global North countries driving oil and gas expansion, Tasneem and Shady unpack how the Global South can chart a path beyond fossil fuels. Together, they discuss the meaning of a truly just transition, lessons from the UN climate talk’s breakthrough on fossil fuels, and how people power is building a just transition.\nHost: Shady Khalil, Oil Change International\nGuest: Tasneem Essop, Executive Director, Climate Action Network International\nAbout Tasneem Essop:\nA lifelong activist from South Africa, Tasneem began her journey during the anti-apartheid struggle, later serving as a provincial minister and global environmental advocate.
