Brazil is offering cabins on a cruise ship for free for poorer nations who are attending COP30, in a last-minute bid to ensure they can attend.⁣ ⁣ Brazil has vowed to ensure the world’s poorest and climate-vulnerable nations have a chance to have their voices heard at the summit.⁣ ⁣ Around 50,000 delegates are expected in the rainforest city of Belem, where nearly every government will convene from November 10–21 to negotiate climate goals. But logistical concerns have plagued preparations: Belem usually has only 18,000 hotel beds, sending nightly rates soaring to several hundred dollars.⁣ ⁣ As of October 31, 149 countries had confirmed lodging, while 37 were still negotiating, the Brazilian government said.⁣ ⁣ #cop #cop30 #climate #climatechange #brazil
