What happened
Greta Thunberg arrived at the UN climate talks, COP31, in Antalya, Turkey, on November 10, 2026. She condemned the proceedings as hypocritical, urging leaders to prioritize people and the planet over profits and power. The conference co-hosts, Turkey and Australia, are promoting renewable energy and rooftop solar installations, but both still rely heavily on fossil fuels, particularly coal, to generate electricity.
