Thunberg at COP31: 'The planet is not dying, it is being killed'

tagesschau.de (German) —

At the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Greta Thunberg accused political leaders of killing the planet, stating it is not dying but being killed by those expected to help. A new report warns of 2.7 degrees Celsius warming. The Climate Action Tracker report says current policies lead to permanent warming above the 1.5-degree Paris target. While renewable energy growth is rapid, global emissions remain at record highs, accelerating climate change. Thunberg criticized leaders for acting detached from reality. Germany is no longer a role model, with recent government decisions potentially slowing the transition to renewables and increasing emissions. The report recommends ending fossil fuel use, cutting methane, and accelerating renewable adoption.
