The COP30 summit’s staging in the Amazon exposed a brutal contradiction: a conference to save forests built on newly bulldozed rainforest, then forced to evacuate after a conference-hall fire. From environmental economics to governance and media framing, this episode analyzes how a single event crystallized systemic failures in climate action. We draw on engineering alternatives, governance gaps at UNFCCC, and public reaction to show why symbolic clashes like this erode climate credibility—and how policy fixes could restore trust.

What We'll Discuss:
- 🌳 Externalizing environmental costs explained
- 🛣️ Alternatives to destructive infrastructure choices
- 🏛️ Governance and accountability gaps at COPs
- 🔥 Media and public framing of the incident
- ♻️ Policy fixes: net-positive host criteria
- 📊 Full-cost accounting and Indigenous vetoes
