Story summary

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has arrived at the COP31 United Nations climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, marking her first appearance at the annual talks in five years since 2021. During the conference, the 23-year-old activist issued a sharp critique of world leaders, accusing them of being hypocritical and prioritizing profits and power over the protection of people and the planet. Thunberg delivered a stark warning that the planet is "not dying, it is being killed and we know by who," suggesting that current leadership is driving the destruction of the environment. She warned of a future characterized by more genocides, ecocides, and the loss of basic rights, where basic necessities could become luxuries. On the sidelines of the event, she specifically criticized Australia's slow pace of action on climate change, stating that "even a snail would agree" with calls for the nation to phase out fossil fuels. The summit follows a year of climate-induced heat waves, and while Andy Burnham was the only G7 leader in attendance, Thunberg and other activists from nations including Nepal, Australia, Palestine, and Canada emphasized that the climate crisis is an immediate threat to global livelihoods.
