Upon arrival at the venue for the first time, participants are requested to proceed to the registration desk to collect badges for access to the conference premises. Participants must provide the following documents so that a badge will be issued:
- The acknowledgement letter sent to the participants from the online registration system upon successful registration – printed or on mobile device;
- A valid passport or a nationally approved photo identification card.
Participants with valid badges can directly access the venue through security and access control, where their badges will be scanned. There is no need to stop by the registration desk.
Once a badge has been issued and activated, the related record cannot be deleted from the database.
There will be multiple service counters available, but please note that arriving on Monday morning typically involves long queues. If possible, collecting your badge on Saturday or Sunday will make the process easier. Monday afternoon usually sees fewer people.
The Government of Brazil has made available free of charge transport during COP 30. Transportation will be provided by a system of 15 dedicated bus lines. To access the signposted stopping points, participants need to present their badges or accreditation letter from UNFCCC.
See digital transport map, as well as further information on the transport system for COP 30 here. Operations will be uninterrupted, 24 hours a day, from 1 – 23 November 2025.
Access to ride-hailing services such as Uber, 99, and local taxis, as well as bike-sharing services near the conference venue will also be available.

Any updates on transport arrangements will be published on the COP 30 website from the Government of Brazil as well as in the Information for Participants published by the UNFCCC secretariat.
There will be a dedicated shuttle bus exclusively for the Norwegian delegation. Schedules and further details will be sent to the participants by email closer to the start of the event.

Mobile phones can also dial the international emergency number 112, which automatically redirects to the local service, typically 190.
Health
Belém is a regional hub in health and has a wide network of public and private hospitals.
During the event, an Integrated Joint Health Operations Center (CIOCS) will be available for assistance. All participants will have free access to the Unified Health System (SUS) in urgent and emergency situations.
For access to the private network through international insurance, insured people should obtain prior information from their insurance company about conditions of use, limits on amounts and the accredited network.
Two vaccinations are recommended: yellow fever and measles, but there is no risk picture in Belém.
In case of fire:
• Keep calm do not shout or run. Do not use the lifts (elevators);
• If your clothing catches fire, fall to the ground and roll;
• If there is a lot of smoke, crawl;
• Do not go back to pick up personal belongings;
• Follow the instructions of the security team.
• If you detect any suspicious item: Do not touch it, keep away from it and call the emergency telephone number or contact the security team.
In case of violent riots etc,:
- Withdraw and return home if a situation escalates into terrorism or violent unrest.
- Run from the sound of gunfire or violence.
- If evacuation is not possible, hide and stay quiet; silence phones.
Please note that cash and conventional debit/credit cards will not be accepted at any restaurant or Grab & Go outlet inside the venue.
The cashless card works like a prepaid card with a decreasing balance, and you can add credits whenever you like. To receive your card, simply visit one of the top-up points located throughout the venue. No documentation is required to pick up the card, and it is provided free of charge.
However, to ensure you can request a refund of any remaining balance after the event, you must link a valid identification document from your country of origin to your card during activation. This document is used solely to verify your identity when requesting a refund via https://app.meep.cloud/#/
Please note that not presenting a document does not prevent you from using the cashless system during the event, but it does make you ineligible for post-event refunds of unused credits.
You may also top up your card online at: https://recarga.meep.com.br/cop30/login
Due to weather in Belém, the dresscode will be smart casual (no shorts).
ATMs are available at the conference venue and will be operational during the pre-sessional week and throughout the Conference.
A computer centre is available at the conference venue offering computer and limited printing services free of charge to all Blue Zone participants on a first come, first served basis.
