💨 Abstract

In preparation for the upcoming COP30 climate conference in Brazil's Amazon, the state of Para is constructing a 13-kilometer road, criticized for potentially exacerbating environmental degradation. The road, originally planned before Belem was chosen as the host, is expected to cut through the city's remaining rainforest. Critics fear it could lead to deforestation and urban expansion, conflicting with the conference's biodiversity conservation goals.
