“Fire disrupted United Nations climate talks on Thursday, forcing evacuations of several buildings with just two scheduled days left and negotiators yet to announce any major agreements. Officials said no one was hurt. The fire was reported in an area of pavilions where sideline events are held during the annual talks, known this year as COP30. Organizers soon announced that the fire was under control, but fire officials ordered the entire site evacuated for safety checks and it wasn’t clear when conference business would resume. A few hours before the fire, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres urged countries to compromise and ‘show willingness and flexibility to deliver results,’ even if they fall short of the strongest measures some nations want.” (11/20/25)
