Greta Thunberg at U.N. climate talks: 'Everything we love is at stake'

latimes.com [$] —

Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at U.N. climate talks in Antalya, Turkey, on Tuesday, condemning the annual proceedings as hypocritical and urging leaders to prioritize people and the planet over profits and power. Thunberg criticized the presence of lobbyists from destructive industries and said political and economic systems are incompatible with human nature. She warned that "everything and everyone we love is at stake" amid a year of deadly climate disasters and an energy shock from the Iran war. This is her first climate summit since 2021, when she dismissed leaders' promises as "blah, blah, blah." The COP31 talks, co-hosted by Turkey and Australia, run until Nov. 20, with youth activists rallying around her presence to demand real action.
