Greta Thunberg full speech at 2018 UN Climate Change COP24 Conference

Image
15 year old activist Greta Thunberg speaks truth to power at the UN COP24 climate talks: "My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old. I am from Sweden. I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now. Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn't matter what we do. But I've learned you are never too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to. But to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like is. Even that burden you leave to us children. But I don't care about being popular. I care about cl...

Speech at the French Parliament July 23rd 2019

Greta is a Warrior for Peace May God protect you and give you the strength to continue, thank you. You need to come to Brazil to talk about the Amazon and help raise awareness of the Brazilian government. It is not right that my favorite singer has more subscribers than Greta! It is absolutely wrong that everyone isn't always talking about this beautiful human and our emergency! Greta Thunberg is the revolutionary every individual, every state, every country, & the whole world needs. All other problems are trivially unimportant compared to what climate soldiers like Greta Thunberg fight for. Firstly I love Greta. Secondly, what blows my mind is how much negativity and criticism she has received from greedy, hateful politicians. It's honestly disturbing. When I listen to her speak I'm moved to tears. She's the voice in my heart and the reason in my mind. I love our Earth. I want to protect it. WE LOVE YOU GRETA!!!!! YOU'RE A HERO!! Your message was clear and prec...

Greta Thunberg | Averting a Climate Apocalypse | Davos 2020 | Extinction Rebellion

Image
'I've been told telling people about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do' Greta Thunberg speaks at Davos 2020. “To act as if you love your children above all else” Such a basic and rational request, but our leaders, not just the US administration, but all our leaders are not walking their talk. The avoidable tragedy... If my leader, Trudeau, had half the courage of Greta... if only HEMP!!! it can be made into plastics, clothing, BIO FUEL, hemp-crete...so on it can replace oil in a lot of ways, i never hear about the pros of replacing pertol with it and it probably because oil companys dont want that to happen but growing hemp is also very benificial for the environment.... GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE FUNDING FARMERS TO GROW HEMP!

Greta Thunberg in Conversation with Jo Nesbo: Worldview Address | Edinburgh TV Festival 2021

Image
Internationally renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg and acclaimed writer Jo Nesbo take the Worldview Address slot. Thunberg and Nesbo discuss the creative industry’s responsibility towards sustainability and a greener future; whether there should be emphasis on a storyteller’s role to highlight the climate crisis and how we can all affect change. Navdip Dhariwal hosts the conversation between the pair. As a young adult author I try my best to depict the climate crisis in my novels, mainly focusing on the solution. It is very important to get the word out that we are not helpless and there are a million things we can do.

2019 learn to know and understand Greta Thunberg : An Hour with the 16-Year-Old Climate Activist

Image
In her first extended broadcast interview in the United States, we spend the hour with Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who has inspired millions across the globe. Last year she launched a school strike for the climate, skipping school every Friday to stand in front of the Swedish parliament, demanding action to prevent catastrophic climate change. Her protest spread, quickly going global. Hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren around the globe have participated in their own local school strikes for the climate. Since her strike began in 2018, Greta has become a leading figure in the climate justice movement. She has joined protests across Europe. She has addressed world leaders at the U.N. climate talks in Poland and the European Union Parliament. She has even met the pope.

Greta Thunberg to EU's Juncker: "We started to clean up your mess, stop sweeping mess under carpet"

Image
16 years old climate activist Greta Thunberg has given a rousing speech at an EU event in Brussels. The teenager opened a European Commission event in front of President Jean-Claude Juncker where she told politicians to stop ‘sweeping their mess under the carpet for our generation to clean up’. Greta, from Sweden, defended the hundreds of thousands of children who took part in global school strikes saying: ‘If you say we are wasting valuable lesson time, let me remind you, our political leaders have wasted decades through denial and inaction and since our time is running out we have started to take action.’ Today, Greta Thunberg is joining Belgian students who are skipping classes for the seventh Thursday in a row to march through Brussels to draw more attention to fighting climate change. The 16-year-old Thunberg said youngsters are being forced to skip school and protest because adults are not addressing climate issues quickly enough. She told the European Economic and Social C...
