Activist Greta Thunberg delivered a sharp critique of world leaders at the Cop31 climate summit, stating that the planet is being killed rather than simply dying. In her first appearance at the UN climate talks in five years, she condemned governments for failing to prevent environmental breakdown.
During her appearance at the Cop31 summit in Antalya, Turkey, activist Greta Thunberg accused world leaders and authorities of failing to stop environmental breakdown and protect human rights.
