COP27 has been extended by a day, as delegates struggle to wrangle a final deal. With just hours left of the conference, here are the key takeaways from the second week.

A controversial dam project in northern Brazil promised progress. Instead, it brought water disputes, environmental disruption, and damaged the livelihoods of the indigenous riverine population.

The hydroelectric plant was eventually inaugurated in 2016. Now, Lula is running for a third term in office, and locals say they're still suffering the effects of the dam, which retains too much water for the upkeep of the region’s biodiversity.
