00:00Activists at COP31 in Antalya, Saki, are calling for immediate action on the climate crisis.
00:07Speaking at a news conference on the silence of the talks,
00:10the activists warn that the world is heading towards more genocide,
00:14ecocides and the loss of basic rights.
00:17Activists also accuse the governments and corporations of complicity.
00:21The most important piece here is that every country can be complicit

01:13their showing up means absolutely nothing.
01:15In Canada right now, the government, the federal government,
01:18is currently expanding major projects under the guise of nation-building.
01:23Indigenous leaders across the territory have named
01:26that they do not have the free, private, and formal consent to...
01:30The warning comes after a report by the Climate Action Tracker
01:34that said global ethos have failed to significantly reduce emissions
01:38over the past five years.
01:40The report says the world is now heading towards an irreversible breach
01:45of the 1.5 degrees Celsius temperature limit set by the Paris Agreement.
