In recent years, the real progress has been outside the rooms where the high-level official U.N. negotiations are held. When the annual U.N. climate conference descends on the small Brazilian rainforest city of Belém in November 2025, it will be tempting to focus on the drama and disunity among major nations.

This is a powerful story w/a snippet about an elite Afghan special forces unit that tried to hold Jalalabad. 'Unlike so many other Afghan units over the past week, this one had refused to surrender and tried to fight.’ Some did try to fight. They just didn’t stand a chance.
