By: Jeff Kelly Lowenstein on December 9th, 2011

As COP17 winds into its final hours, negotiators have worked until early in the morning to forge a series of climate change agreements.

The countries bring widely varying numbers of people to the task.

For about 95 countries (those in colours other than red), this map shows the number of pre-registered participants and the climate risk index for 2010 as determined by GermanWatch.

Click on each country to see the numbers. On the climate risk index, a lower number signifies a higher level of climate risk.
