For cross-border operations (such as Brazil and Europe), friction often increases due to more steps, more stakeholders, language differences, and compliance requirements. 

From 8 to 18 November, I was in Belém during COP-30, providing on-site logistical support to Innovasjon Norge and other Northern European organizations.
