“This is no longer a climate conference. It is a festival of image washing, ”said the activist.
The young Swedish activist Greta Thunberg declared on Friday that the conference on climate change in Glasgow (COP26) is “a failure”, a week after the closing of the negotiations.
“It is no secret that COP6 is a failure,” Thunberg told thousands of young people in the Scottish city.
“It’s a two-week celebration of ‘nothing happens here’ and blah blah blah,” he accused.
“This is no longer a climate conference. It is a festival of image washing, “he added.
Delegates from almost 200 countries have been meeting since last Sunday to increase the cut of greenhouse gases and energy transition, with the aim of keeping the global warming at a maximum of + 1.5ºC.

“Our leaders are not leading. This is leadership, ”Greta yelled, pointing at the crowd. (I)
