By Richard Clark / November 22, 2025
The COP30 United Nations climate talks in Belém, Brazil, were evacuated Thursday night after a fire broke out inside the main venue.
The incident forced thousands of attendees to leave the area as emergency crews moved in to contain the flames.
According to organizers, smoke and flames spread through the pavilion area as temperatures rose and security personnel directed delegates toward exits.
Fire crews entered the affected zone while security staff formed a human barrier across the hallway to keep the evacuation route clear.
