The topic of 'Global South Perspectives' is centered around recognizing the differing views and experiences of countries and communities in the Global South (generally referring to developing nations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania) when it comes to the climate crisis.

This contrasts with the dominant Western narratives and approaches that have often overlooked or dismissed the perspectives of the Global South. The podcast episodes Amitav Ghosh on colonialism & the climate crisis and Sarah E. Vaughn, "Engineering Vulnerability: In Pursuit of Climate Adaptation" (Duke UP, 2022) both highlight the importance of understanding the Global South's views on the climate crisis, its historical roots in colonial exploitation, and the need to incorporate these perspectives in addressing the crisis.
