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...

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.

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 Is Leading a Global Climate Movement

For hundreds of thousands of young people around the world, Greta Thunberg is an icon. In August 2018, dismayed by adults’ lack of action on the global climate crisis, the teenager sat herself down in front of the Swedish Parliament, pledging to strike from school every Friday until Sweden aligned its policies with the Paris Agreement. Greta’s actions have earned her a Nobel Peace Prize nomination and speaking engagements at the World Economic Forum and COP24—but most importantly, they’ve encouraged students from all over the globe to stand up for Earth and their futures. This is the fourth story in our latest series, “The Brave,” all about the incredible people protecting our Great Big Planet.
