Activist Greta Thunberg speaks at the Cop31 UN Climate Summit in Antalya, Turkey, November 10, 2026CLIMATE change threatens everything and everyone we love, prominent activist Greta Thunberg warned today after arriving in Turkey for the second day of this year’s United Nations climate talks.
The Conference of the Parties (Cop31) is taking place in in Antalya after a year of brutal heatwaves and concerns that governments don’t care about global warming.
Climate change is “threatening everything,” Ms Thunberg told reporters outside the event. “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.”
Ms Thunberg is expected to join the talks for a few days. She said structural changes were needed worldwide to deal with the climate crisis because current political and economic systems “have become incompatible with human nature.”
The UN climate talks have long been criticised for making empty promises. Activists from 350.org, Climate Action Network and other campaign groups gathered outside the venue this morning, demanding that world leaders finally begin moving their countries away from fossil fuels.
