Greta Thunberg arrives at UN climate talks saying ‘everything we love is at stake’
Thunberg said the talks are filled with fossil-fuel lobbyists and urged leaders to put people and the planet ahead of profits and power.
- On Tuesday, climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at the COP31 conference in Antalya, Turkey, warning that climate change is "threatening everything" and urging world leaders to prioritize people and the planet over profits and power.
- Thunberg attends her first summit since the 2021 Glasgow talks, where she dismissed leaders' promises as "blah, blah, blah," having also protested Azerbaijan's hosting of climate negotiations in 2024.
- Demanding structural change, she argues current political and economic systems have "become incompatible with human nature," criticizing negotiations as "filled with lobbyists" and warning against sacrificing the global majority for "unimaginable profits."
- Youth activists rallied around her arrival; Amber Turner, a 26-year-old fellow with the Alliance of Small Island States, said Thunberg's presence adds pressure on the COP to deliver real action and implementation.
- The COP31 talks in Antalya run until Nov 20, while the next summit, COP32, is scheduled for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in Nov 2027.
