Many countries have not secured accommodation for the COP30 summit in Brazil, and the high costs of hotels are causing some delegations to consider their absence.

The COP30 summit, scheduled between November 10 and 21 in Belem, Brazil, is facing a housing crisis, with dozens of countries still in negotiations for hotel rooms. The exorbitant prices, reaching hundreds of dollars per night, are causing some delegates to consider not attending. Organizers are seeking alternative solutions, such as converting motels and ships into accommodation units, but many nations, especially those with low incomes, are facing financial difficulties.
