Prominent climate activist Greta Thunberg announced she is not attending COP29 over Azerbaijan’s climate and human rights record. She is calling for protests tonight in Tbilisi, Georgia, where she has been meeting with local activists. Thunberg wrote on social media, “Azerbaijan, using COP29 as a façade, is ramping up control under a false 'green' agenda, tightening its grip on power, and escalating regional tensions.”
