the size of the COP31 climate summit to 30,000 delegates if its bid to host the conference is successful, as Labor readies itself for a last ditch lobbying effort to secure the event at this month\u2019s United Nations meeting in New York.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Documents published late last week put the potential size of a COP summit in Adelaide at more than 52,000 attendees, which would include heads of state, UN officials, media, sponsors, \u201cobservers\u201d and their delegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, federal and state government sources speaking on condition of anonymity said Australia\u2019s preferred figure is much lower, at 30,000, and Labor has little appetite to host an event on the scale of recent COP summits in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The COP28 event in Dubai in 2023 was attended by more than 85,000 people, with just under 100,000 registered \u2013 exceeding the record attendance figure set at the

worried about the cost.
