The COP30 conference in Belém, Brazil, has been temporarily suspended after a fire broke out at the conference venue, international media outlet Reuters reported. The fire on Thursday caused a stampede at the conference venue.
The fire was extinguished within 6 minutes and 13 people were treated for smoke inhalation, the United Nations said. The cause of the fire is still unknown, the BBC reported. People had come out after the smoke billowed into the room and the temperature rose. The COP conference, which was scheduled to end on November 20, was postponed due to the failure of countries to reach an agreement on a common resolution. The fire has further delayed the conference. Representatives of nearly 200 countries are discussing how to deal with the challenge of climate change at COP. Meanwhile, it has been agreed to hold COP 31 if it is postponed and to hold talks between governments under the leadership of Australia during the conference. Both countries had previously claimed to host the upcoming COP.
