Guardian: The deals dead. These were the words of my chief negotiator, approximately six years ago, in the middle of the night in the final hours of the sleep-deprived Copenhagen summit. I was standing in my bedroom as I took his call, about to go to bed for the first time in 36 hours. Thanks to the efforts of a number of countries into the night and the next day, it turned out the deal wasnt quite dead, and something did survive.

Others lead their water buffalo home before dinner. Overhead loom bare utility poles -- built but never wired for electricity -- casting long shadows across the landscape.
