De Lima Kaxinawa belongs to the Kaxinawa, also known as the Huni Kuin, a tribe that lives in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil and Peru and whose way of life is under threat from deforestation. He is also one of hundreds of Brazilian "party overflow members" at the climate...

No part of the deal has been finalised because in the end it is likely to be a tradeoff between developing countries demands particularly for financing to help cope with the impacts of locked-in climate change and wealthier nations insistence...
