Greta Thunberg warns at UN climate talks: 'Everything we love is at stake'

Greta Thunberg arrived at the UN climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, on Tuesday, criticizing the annual talks as hypocritical and warning that "everything and everyone we love is at stake" due to climate change. She urged leaders to prioritize people and the planet over financial gain and geopolitical power. Thunberg condemned host countries for "whitewashing" themselves and noted the presence of lobbyists from destructive industries. Her appearance marks her first UN climate summit since 2021, and she is expected to stay for several days, with her presence energizing younger delegates at the COP31 conference. Turkey, co-hosting with Australia, aims to advance global electrification, targeting a 35 per cent share of electricity in energy consumption by 2035. Demonstrations at the venue have called for increased climate financing and opposed nuclear power momentum. The conference runs until 20 November.
