A go off stony-broke come out at the locale for the COP30 breast in Brazil's Belem on Thursday, prompting evacuation from parts of the site as panicked delegates ran for the exits.
The United Nations and security crews rushed to the scene of the blaze with extinguishers and tried to put it out while smoke engulfed the corridor, and people were heard shouting "fire!"
Victoria Martins and Júlia Aguiar, technical personnel associated with the event, said that the fire was reported in the health and science pavilion on the next-to-last scheduled day of the COP30 summit, The Associated Press reported.
Smoke billowed inside and out of the conference building as firefighters arrived at the scene in Belem. Several videos of the blaze are doing the rounds on social media.
The incident occurred when global ministers were deeply engrossed in negotiations to break a deadlock over fossil fuels, climate finance and trade measures, with just one day left in the two-week climate conference.
Brazil's tourism minister, Celso Sabino, said that the fire has been brought under control, informing that no injuries were reported in the incident.
"The incident has already been contained," Sabino reportedly said on Brazilian television.
