Greta calls for urgent action to address the climate and ecological crisis.
She reminds the world of the promises made to children and grandchildren – a promise they expect to be kept.
Let’s remind ourselves what Greta stated 1 year ago at Davos…
Followed by her latest message…
My name is Greta Thunberg and I’m not here to make deals. You see, I don’t belong to any financial interest or political party. So I can’t bargain or negotiate. I am only here to once again remind you of the emergency we’re in. The crisis that you and your predecessors have created and inflicted upon us. The crisis that you continue to ignore.
I am here to remind you of the promises that you have made to your children and grandchildren. And to tell you that we are not willing to compromise on the very minimum safety levels that still remain.
The climate and ecological crisis can unfortunately no longer be solved within today’s systems. According to the current best available science that is no longer an opinion; that’s a fact.
We need to keep this in mind as countries, businesses and investors now rush forward to present their new so-called “ambitious” climate targets and commitments. The longer we avoid this uncomfortable truth, and the longer we pretend we can solve the climate – and ecological emergency – without treating it like a crisis — the more precious time we will lose. And this is time we do not have. ( source- https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/greta-thunberg-message-to-the-davos-agenda/ )
