Thunberg Returns to COP31, Says Emissions Keep Rising

Greta Thunberg returned to the U.N. climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, for the first time since 2021, warning that climate change threatens people and the planet. She argued that emissions continue to rise despite decades of climate negotiations and urged governments to pursue more ambitious action. Thunberg called for policies that put people’s well-being ahead of profits and geopolitical power, and said sweeping structural changes are needed. The summit follows a year marked by severe heat waves and other climate-related disasters.
