Greta Thunberg urges EU leaders to ‘wake up’ on climate change
Teenager who started school climate strike movement addresses MEPs in Strasbourg
The teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has chided EU leaders for holding three emergency summits on Brexit and none on the threat posed by climate change.
In a clarion call to Europe’s political leaders ahead of European parliament elections in May, the founder of the school strike movement said if politicians were serious about tackling climate change they would not spend all their time “talking about taxes or Brexit”.
