The UN climate talks, COP30, in Belém, Brazil, were disrupted when a fire broke out within the venue. Eyewitness accounts, including those from BBC journalists, reported seeing flames and smoke in the pavilion area, prompting an immediate evacuation.
The UN confirmed that the fire was extinguished within six minutes. As a result of the incident, 13 individuals received treatment for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
COP30 is a significant event aimed at addressing global climate change issues, and this incident raises questions about safety protocols in such high-profile gatherings.
