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.
