As Brazil prepares to host the COP30 climate conference in the Amazon city of Belém, the government has taken extraordinary measures to address a shortage of accommodations. Authorities have contracted two luxury cruise ships to serve as floating hotels, offering a guarantee of R$ 259 million to mitigate the lodging crisis. Despite these efforts, concerns persist among international delegations regarding the availability and affordability of hotel rooms. Some countries have urged Brazil to relocate the conference from Belém due to what they describe as excessively high hotel prices. The president of COP30, André Corrêa do Lago, acknowledged the pressure from participating nations and confirmed that the United Nations held an emergency meeting to discuss these issues. The Brazilian government maintains it has options to ensure a successful event despite the logistical challenges.
