Dozens turned out in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, to hear a lecture by Greta Thunberg on November 8. The Swedish climate activist met with activists from countries in the region -- Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The latter is due to host the COP29 global climate summit on November 11-12.

She also called the summit "a greenwash conference," an attribute activists give to publicity stunts they say are only pretending to care about the environment.
