Brazil just elected a new government to be led by president-elect Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva. While Lula, as he is known, has clearly promised to restore protections for the Amazon rainforest that were lost under his predecessor, his government doesn’t get sworn in until January. It still faces a divided country over the balance between economic development and protecting the environment.

China has indicated it is looking to protect 30 per cent of its own land by 2030, but it’s less clear how intent it is to push the rest of the world to agree. Its decision, for example, not to invite world leaders to help ramp up the pressure at this meeting, is seen possibly as a sign China may be trying to downplay the whole thing.
