A huge thanks to Tom Mustill, Evie Wright and Fergus Dingle for turning my Paris Agreement Anniversary speech into a film!!

My name is Greta Thunberg and I am inviting you to be a part of the solution.
As #ParisAgreement turns 5, our leaders present their 'hopeful' distant hypothetical targets, 'net zero' loopholes and empty promises.
But the real hope comes from the people.

Global average per capita CO2 emissions for
- Top 1% income earner: 74 tonnes
- Bottom 50% income earner: 1 tonnes
This is why #climatejustice is the heart of the #climatecrisis
We can’t #FaceTheClimateEmergency unless this is our focus.

"Popular debate has often pitted ‘behaviour change’ and ‘system change’ against each other, presented as a trade-off between two choices. As this chapter illustrates, however, system change and behaviour change are two sides of the same coin."

"To stay on track for global heating of no more than 1.5C, the carbon footprint of the richest 10% of Europeans must be ten times smaller by 2030, and that of the richest 1% 30 times less than now." twitter.com/Oxfam/status/1…

Richest 1% in Sweden emit about 43tonnes CO2 per person/year. 50% with lowest income emit 4,5tonnes according to Oxfam.
Other studies say Stockholmers emit way more than nat'l average
Lack of climate justice isn't just between countries, it's also within.

”I think we simply need to tell the truth. We should be adult enough to handle the truth. And the truth can be quite frightening in some ways – but it is also hopeful.”

Att lämna över ansvaret för Sveriges största dagstidning till en omyndig, outbildad aktivist är helt obegripligt. Det är vansinne. Om det inte vore för det absurda faktum att vi befinner oss i en existentiell kris som fortfarande ignoreras av vårt samhälle.dn.se/sverige/greta-…

”Mina föräldrar klagar ofta på de dåliga vintrarna nuförtiden. De talar om hur de gick till skolan i –30 grader. Samtidigt påstår de att klimatförändringen är en konspiration [...] De ser själva vad som håller på att hända, men vägrar erkänna det.”

The real news here is that Denmark will apparently go on extracting fossil fuels for another 3 decades.
To us children, this is not the "good news" that some people seem to think.
We're in a climate emergency. Act accordingly.

If only words, pledges and setting distant hypothetical targets actually lowered our emissions then we wouldn't still be in this mess.
The longer we pretend we can "fix this" without treating the crisis like a crisis, the more invaluable time we'll loose.

We appreciate the effort, but we in #FridaysForFuture don’t wish to be linked to anything commercial.
Nor do we wish to gain from overconsumption.
The climate- and ecological crisis will only worsen by encouraging people to buy things they don’t need.
