Greta Thunberg says climate activism requires that we "change everything"

To address climate change, we must overhaul everything,” including “colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression,” said the young climate activist in an op-ed published on Friday.

She noted, “Collective action works; we have proved that. But to change everything, we need everyone.” Adding that “every one of us must participate in the climate resistance movement. We cannot just say we care; we must show it.”

In her article, Thunberg made it clear that the climate change agenda is much broader than addressing environmental concerns. The 16-year-old wrote it also involves political and societal changes.
