You need to listen to us, us who cannot vote. You need to vote for us, for your children and grandchildren. What we are doing now can soon no longer be undone.
GRETA THUNBERGYou need to listen to us, us who cannot vote. You need to vote for us, for your children and grandchildren. What we are doing now can soon no longer be undone.
GRETA THUNBERGThe fight is not over yet. The fight is only over when the people say it’s over.
GRETA THUNBERGAll we have to do is to wake up and change.
GRETA THUNBERGWe live in a strange world, where we think we can buy or build our way out of a crisis that has been created by buying and building things. Where a football game or a film gala gets more media attention than the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced.
GRETA THUNBERGWe have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again. You’ve run out of excuses and we’re running out of time. We’ve come here to let you know that change is coming whether you like it or not.
GRETA THUNBERGWe can’t call for climate justice while advocating for policies and phase-out-dates based on targets that exclude aspect of equity and historic emissions.
GRETA THUNBERGThat we live in a post-truth society today, and that we don’t care, that we have lost empathy. We have stopped caring for each other in a way. We have stopped thinking long-term and sustainable. And that’s something that goes much deeper than just climate crisis deniers.
GRETA THUNBERGThe eyes of future generations are upon you. No more excuses.
GRETA THUNBERGI think weakness, in a way, can be also needed because we don’t have to be the loudest, we don’t have to take up the most amount of space, and we don’t have to earn the most money… We need to care about each other more.
GRETA THUNBERGI think in many ways that we autistic are the normal ones and the rest of the people are pretty strange.
GRETA THUNBERGThe time has come to voice our fears and be honest with wider society.
GRETA THUNBERGThose of us who are still children can’t change what you do now once we’re old enough to do something about it.
GRETA THUNBERGRight here, Right now is where we draw the time, the world is not waking up, and change is coming, whether you like it or not.
GRETA THUNBERGAvoiding climate breakdown will require cathedral thinking. We must lay the foundation while we may not know exactly how to build the ceiling.
GRETA THUNBERGAnd in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same – being different is truly something to be proud of. that’s why I’m very proud to be austistic.
GRETA THUNBERGIn case you’re still wondering why there’s no real change in sight… We can’t solve a crisis unless we treat it like a crisis.
