Greta Thunberg: What Is Discussed in COP 31 ‘Could Be a Life or Death Sentence for Countless People’

TRANSCRIPT:

THUNBERG: "This is a matter of life and death, and what is being decided and talked about in these rooms will be -- could be a life or death sentence for countless people. And of course, we have had 31 of these COPs, so, of course, this one is most likely not going to be any different, but we still have to fight to prevent every catastrophe that we can prevent and save every life that we can save. But we also need to acknowledge that the COPs are not sufficient to prevent the climate catastrophe. We are already seeing climate catastrophes, and these decades have given us talking and talking. The emissions are still increasing. We are, as we speak, passing irreversible tipping points beyond human control."
