Greta Thunberg at COP31: Climate Change Threatens Everything We Love
Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at the COP31 UN climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, on Tuesday, condemning the talks as hypocritical and urging leaders to prioritize people and the planet over profits and power. Thunberg criticized host countries for "whitewashing" themselves and noted the presence of lobbyists from destructive industries. She warned that climate change threatens "everything and everyone we love," and called for action to protect the global majority rather than sacrificing them for the fortunate few. This is Thunberg's first climate summit since 2021, and her arrival excited youth activists. The conference, running until Nov. 20, focuses on global electrification, while protests demand more climate finance and criticize nuclear energy interest.
