Freedom of Information requests revealed that the UK's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spent at least £847,000 sending 73 officials to COP30 in Belém, Brazil, with over £600,000 going to private apartment rentals alone. The expenditure has drawn sharp criticism from opposition MPs and taxpayer groups, while the government argues the delegation was essential to securing a fossil fuel transition roadmap backed by more than 80 countries.
