Greta Thunberg Stages Anti-COP Protest in Tbilisi
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg held a protest in central Tbilisi against the ongoing UN Climate Conference (COP29) taking place in Baku. Later, Thunberg joined a rally outside the Georgian parliament, coinciding with a demonstration by the country’s opposition.
“Azerbaijan is using COP29 as a façade to tighten its grip under a fake ‘green’ agenda, increasing its control and escalating regional tensions,” Thunberg wrote in a statement announcing her protest.
The activist also criticized the “collective West,” accusing it of legitimizing and financing authoritarian regimes in the pursuit of energy and profit.
