Greta Thunberg is boycotting the climate summit because of ‘vaccine nationalism’

She wants it postponed until more people can be vaccinated

Greta Thunberg says that she will not attend the next global climate summit because the inequality of vaccine distribution means not all countries will be represented equally.

The teenage climate activist said the (Conference of the Parties) COP26 summit planned in Glasgow, Scotland in November, will have unequal representation from countries that have less access to vaccines.

“Of course I would love to attend the Glasgow COP26. But not unless everyone can take part on the same terms,” Thunberg said in a tweet.

Of course I would love to attend the Glasgow #COP26
But not unless everyone can take part on the same terms. Right now many countries are vaccinating healthy young people, often at the expense of risk groups and front line workers (mainly from global south, as usual…).
