00:00The fire broke out at the United Nations Climate Summit in Belém in Brazil,
00:06prompting evacuations and disrupting climate talks.
00:10The summit organizers said everyone was evacuated safely,
00:14but reported that the Blue Zone had been shut down temporarily
00:17to complete the necessary safety checks.
00:21The disruption came at a critical moment,
00:24as negotiators were struggling to reach a consensus on certain key topics.
00:29Just before the fire broke out,
00:31UN Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres had urged countries
00:35to show willingness and flexibility to deliver concrete results.
00:39I think this is not the moment to talk about the possible failure of the COP.
00:45It is the moment to guarantee that that failure doesn't occur.
00:49And so I am perfectly convinced that a compromise is possible,
00:55that to take into account, as I mentioned,
00:58the legitimate concerns of adaptation and the legitimate concerns of mitigation.
01:04The local fire service said the cause of the fire was believed to be an electrical device,
01:08likely a microwave.
01:10Thirteen people were treated on site for smoke inhalation.
01:14The Blue Zone has since been reopened and continued operations late on Thursday.
