Greta Thunberg at COP31: 'The planet is being killed'

Greta Thunberg criticized world leaders at the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, accusing them of being disconnected from reality and failing to address the escalating climate crisis. She stated that the planet is being killed and called for accountability. Thunberg, founder of Fridays for Future, said invaluable lives, ecosystems, and species are being lost while leaders talk. She urged resistance against governments and corporations responsible for global heating, framing the crisis as a justice issue that disproportionately impacts those least responsible. Thunberg was joined by activists including Rikki Dank of Australia's Wakaya people, who condemned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for approving new fossil fuel projects. Australia ranked "very weak" in Germanwatch's climate index, lacking a national fossil fuel phase-out plan.
