Overview

• COP30 is scheduled for November 10–21 in Belém, Brazil, with roughly 50,000 participants expected.
• Limited accommodation and steep price increases have pushed hotels near full capacity, and the Pará hotel association rejected a government request to cap rates.
• State authorities formed a working group in August to guide delegations and say bed availability is guaranteed.
• Plans call for about 60% of delegates to stay with local hosts, with two cruise ships adding 6,000 beds at a port roughly 20 km from the convention center.
• Only 68 of 198 countries have paid reservations so far, and nights under the UN’s ~$100 target remain scarce despite Airbnb reporting a 22% price drop since February.
