This month's Global development podcast looks at possible outcomes of the COP17 talks and asks what a failure at Durban might mean for development prospects.
We also explore the growing movement for "climate justice", looking at innovative and experimental ways local communities are pursuing environmental sustainability from the ground up.
John Vidal, the Guardian's environment editor, is joined by Saleemul Huq, senior fellow at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), Alison Doig, senior policy adviser on climate change at Christian Aid, Chandu Krishnan, executive director of Transparency International UK, and Desmond D'Sa, from the South Durban Community Environment Alliance.
