THUNBERG: “It is what we decide now that will define the rest of humanity’s future. And whether we choose to do that or not, if we don’t, it will be a death sentence to countless of people. And it is already a death sentence to countless of people living on the frontlines of the climate crisis today. (…) But the political will is nowhere to be seen. The people in power are spending their time looking for full solutions, and finding and creating loopholes, which maintains business as usual, and keeps them in the position of power. Our responsibility and our role here, as activists in conferences like this is to call them out and to tell the truth. And the truth now is that these processes are failing. They are failing us here in this room, they are failing our children, they are failing all of humanity and the future generations to come.”
