Because hosting it in a place with all the necessary infrastructure already in place would have made too much sense. Like, oh I don't know, that one Brazilian city that recently hosted the World Cup and then the Olympics, both with many orders of magnitude more people attending than a climate conference. No gotta spend a fortune building brand new shit for a once in decades thing.
How much you want to bet this is just an excuse to funnel public money into a private construction firm?
