Amazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summit

The infrastructure required to host COP30 in Belém is undermining the cause, campaigners say.

It shows how “seriously” we are taking climate change.

I’m sure there’s a better place ?

Maybe somewhere with an already established infrastructure

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.

So you think it’s a good idea ?

Probably not.

Probably not.

I agree. And it does little to stop people who aren’t onboard with climate change thinking…..

This sort of headline undermines the need for action imho.

What’s wrong with all the other 1000’s of places they could meet ?

Or do it over the internet, if they really care.

It's a mental illness, really - you should see a doctor.

My neighbours are both uni lecturers and climate change activists, ride bikes everywhere but think nothing of jumping on a jet and flying across the world every 5 min to some cockamimi climate conference.
