Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,

01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:55.080
welcome to the 2019 Climate Action Summit.
670
01:28:59.440 --> 01:29:03.560
If I may ask you to
please take your seats.

WOMAN:
Greta, your first climate strike
673
01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:34.280
was a lonely event,
a little over a year ago
674
01:29:34.280 --> 01:29:37.840
demanding action for climate change.
675
01:29:37.840 --> 01:29:40.800
What's your message
to world leaders today?
676
01:29:43.960 --> 01:29:49.160
GRETA:
This is all wrong.
I shouldn't be up here.
677
01:29:49.160 --> 01:29:53.840
I should be back in school,
on the other side of the ocean.
678
01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:58.360
Yet you all come to
us young people for hope.
679
01:29:58.360 --> 01:30:00.920
How dare you?
680
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:06.400
You have stolen my dreams and
my childhood with your empty words.
681
01:30:06.400 --> 01:30:09.560
And, yet,
I'm one of the lucky ones.
682
01:30:10.400 --> 01:30:14.560
People are suffering.
People are dying.
683
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:17.600
Entire ecosystems are collapsing
684
01:30:17.600 --> 01:30:23.640
and all you can talk about is money and
fairy tales of eternal economic growth.
685
01:30:24.040 --> 01:30:25.520
How dare you?
686
01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:31.000
For more than 30 years,
the science has been crystal clear.
687
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:35.440
How dare you
continue to look away?
688
01:30:35.440 --> 01:30:38.520
And come here,
saying that you are doing enough?
689
01:30:38.520 --> 01:30:43.240
When the politics and solutions
needed are still nowhere in sight.
690
01:30:44.160 --> 01:30:46.680
You are failing us!
691
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:51.600
But the young people are
starting to understand your betrayal.
692
01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:55.400
The eyes of all future
generations are upon you.
693
01:30:56.480 --> 01:31:01.760
And if you choose to fail us,
I say that we will never forgive you.
694
01:31:04.200 --> 01:31:06.960
The world is waking up.
