土耳其安塔利亚 —— 著名气候变化活动家格蕾塔·通贝里周二抵达联合国气候会议，她强调必须将保护民众和地球置于利润和权力之上。
KHALIL HAMRA, SIBI ARASU ANTALYA, Turkey — Prominent climate change activist Greta Thunberg arrived Tuesday at the U.N. climate meeting, where she emphasized the need to protect people and the planet over profits and power.
今年的会议被称为缔约方大会，即COP31，是在经历了一年由气候引发的热浪和其他灾难之后召开的。
This year’s meeting — called the Conference of the Parties, or COP31 — comes after a year of climate-induced heat waves and other disasters.
通贝里在土耳其安塔利亚的会议场地抵达时表示，气候变化正在“威胁一切”，而“我们所爱所珍视的一切和每个人都岌岌可危”。她对记者说：“我们应当采取行动保护和造福民众，而不是不断牺牲全球大多数民众以及我们赖以生存的这颗星球，让极少数幸运者继续获取难以想象的利润并维持地缘政治权力。”
As she arrived at the meeting venue in Antalya, Turkey, Thunberg said climate change is “threatening everything” and that “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,” she told reporters.
这是通贝里自2021年在苏格兰格拉斯哥参加COP会议以来首次出席联合国气候峰会，当时她将全球领导人作出的承诺斥为“废话、废话、废话”。
Thunberg is attending her first U.N. climate summit since she participated in the 2021 COP in Glasgow, Scotland, where she dismissed promises made by global leaders as “blah, blah, blah.”
2024年，通贝里曾在格鲁吉亚参加抗议集会，反对阿塞拜疆主办那一年的气候谈判。她指责阿塞拜疆利用该峰会为其“罪行和侵犯人权行为漂绿”。
In 2024, Thunberg participated in a protest rally in Georgia against Azerbaijan hosting that year’s climate talks. Thunberg accused Azerbaijan of using that summit to “greenwash their crimes and human rights abuses.”
预计通贝里将参加今年会议几天。她表示，全球需要结构性变革来应对气候危机，因为当前的政治和经济体系“已与人性不相容”。阿拉苏在印度班加罗尔发回报道。
