Greta Thunberg Warns at COP31 Climate Summit

World leaders from more than 90 countries are meeting in Turkey for COP31, a major United Nations climate summit. The event comes as climate activist Greta Thunberg issued a strong warning about the dangers of a warming planet.

Thunberg said that "everything and everyone we love is at stake," stressing the urgency of the climate crisis. Her comments add pressure on leaders to take stronger action during the summit.

Turkey, the host nation, is also celebrating the discovery of new oilfields, areas where oil has been found underground. This has drawn attention because fossil fuels like oil are a major cause of climate change.

Fossil fuels, including oil, gas and coal, release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. Many scientists and activists argue that countries must reduce their use to slow global warming.

Several high-profile figures are taking part in the summit's discussions. Patricia Espinosa, the former UN climate chief, has spoken, along with her successor, Simon Stiell, who now leads UN climate efforts.

Former US secretary of state John Kerry, who has also served as a climate ambassador, addressed the summit as well. His presence highlights continued international focus on climate diplomacy.

The summit brings together leaders to negotiate ways to cut carbon emissions and limit the effects of climate change. With so many countries represented, COP31 is seen as an important moment for global climate policy.

Thunberg's warning reflects a wider concern among activists that progress on climate action remains too slow, even as fossil fuel production continues in some host countries.
