Amazonas-Wald für den Bau einer Straße zum Klimagipfel abgeholzt

"Für den Klimagipfel COP30 in der brasilianischen Stadt Belém wird eine neue vierspurige Straße gebaut, die durch Zehntausende Hektar geschützten Amazonas-Regenwald führt. Sie soll den Verkehr in die Stadt erleichtern, in der im November mehr als 50.000 Menschen – darunter führende Politiker aus aller Welt – an der Konferenz teilnehmen werden. Die Landesregierung preist die „nachhaltigen“ Eigenschaften der Straße, aber einige Einheimische und Naturschützer sind über die Umweltauswirkungen empört."

Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

"A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November.

The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.

The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit."
