1. “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood.” Greta Thunberg delivers a powerful speech at the United Nations.
Greta Thunberg has delivered a powerful speech at the United Nations headquarters telling the world leaders they have “stolen her dreams and her childhood”.
The speech came as more than 50 world leaders – with the exception of Prime Minister Scott Morrison and US President Donald Trump – appeared at the Climate Action Summit in New York.
16-year-old Thunberg said young people would never forgive the world leaders if they failed to take action on climate change.
“Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.”
