Climate Question-Bellingcat Open Source Challenge 3
This challenge centers on contextual OSINT within a high-profile international event. Participants are presented with an image from a session at United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), held in Belém, and tasked with determining which session it depicts. The investigation requires mapping the visual details of the session-such as panel composition, branding, and staging-to official COP30 schedules and recordings. The final step involves identifying the first audience member to ask a question and extracting their first name, emphasizing careful review of session footage, attention to sequence, and disciplined source verification rather than assumption or guesswork.
