Greta Thunberg arrives at UN climate talks saying ‘everything we love is at stake’

ANTALYA: Prominent climate change activist Greta Thunberg arrived Tuesday at the UN climate meeting, where she emphasized the need to protect people and the planet over profits and power.

This year’s meeting — called the Conference of the Parties, or COP31 — comes after a year of climate-induced heat waves and other disasters.

As she arrived at the meeting venue in Antalya, Turkiye, Thunberg said climate change is “threatening everything” and that “everything and everyone we love is at stake.”

“We should act to protect and benefit people rather than constantly sacrificing the global majority and the very planet we are all living on, for a fortunate few to keep making unimaginable profits and maintaining geopolitical power,” she told reporters.
