Greta Thunberg has warned the world is failing to tackle the climate emergency and is in a ‘state of complete denial’ nearly five years after the Paris agreement.
Thunberg, 17, whose solo school strike in 2018 snowballed into a global youth movement, spoke out ahead of a UN event at which national leaders have been asked to increase their pledges on emissions cuts.
In a video shared exclusively with the Guardian, she calls on leaders to account for failing to reverse rising carbon emissions, but concluded: ‘There is hope … we are the hope – we, the people’.

¡Viva Greta!
There is a Bible verse that says in part “and a little child shall lead them.” I would not call Greta “little,” she is the moral voice that roars, but the point is clear.
Will we have the wisdom and will to heed her call? and the call of many others who have spoken. Nonetheless, Greta is quite remarkable and most importantly she speaks with honesty and heart.
