A fire erupted at the United Nations climate conference in Belém, Brazil on Thursday, according to the Brazilian publication GloboNews.
Firefighters worked to extinguish the flames engulfing the pavilion roof, and the power was cut off in regions across COP30 as authorities evacuated the section known as the “blue zone,” according to GloboNews. One official reportedly told GloboNews that the fire is now contained.
Over 190 countries and around 50,000 attendees are at the conference, according to multiple reports. Notably, a top United Nations official reportedly directed Brazilian authorities to immediately address concerns like leaky light fixtures, unbearable heat and insufficient security personnel at the conference on Nov. 12, according to Bloomberg.
