Greta Thunberg at UN Climate Talks: 'Everything We Love Is at Stake'

Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived Tuesday at the U.N. climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, warning that climate change threatens "everything and everyone we love" and urging action to prioritize people and the planet over profits. Speaking at the COP31 meeting, Thunberg criticized current systems for sacrificing the global majority for the benefit of a few, calling for structural changes as political and economic models are "incompatible with human nature." The summit follows a year of climate-induced heat waves and disasters. This is Thunberg's first U.N. climate summit since COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, where she dismissed leaders' promises as "blah, blah, blah." In 2024, she protested Azerbaijan's hosting of talks, accusing it of "greenwashing" human rights abuses. She plans to attend for several days.
