    major rainforest nations demanded hundreds of billions of dollars of climate financing and a greater role in how those resources are spent.

    And what guarantees are they able to give that someone like Bolsonaro isn’t returning in the near future?

      It’s not like the rich countries are self-evidently sober and stable in their politics and climate impacts. The richest one just had their own wannabe fascist and has both been responsible for a large part of emissions and rarely met their climate goals.
