A fire broke out on Thursday at the COP30 climate conference venue in Belém, Brazil, forcing a full evacuation of the site. Thirteen people suffered from smoke inhalation but no severe injuries were reported. The blaze, possibly caused by faulty electrical equipment, quickly spread through fabric-structure pavilions, triggering sirens and chaos. Key climate negotiations—especially over fossil fuel transition and climate finance—were stalled just a day before the summit’s scheduled close.
