Greta Thunberg

I am telling you, there is hope. I have seen it. But it does not come from governments or corporations. It comes from the people.

When you look at history, all the great changes in society have come from the bottom up.

We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis.

We are not going to wait for you to act. We are going to make you act.

For way too long, the politicians and the people in power have gotten away with not doing anything at all.

The climate crisis is the easiest crisis we have ever faced. Because we know what we need to do. We just have to stop doing certain things.

We are united behind the science. You are not.

We are facing an existential crisis, and we need to act like it.

My generation will not give up without a fight.

If you don't take this seriously, we will make you take it seriously.

I want to be remembered as the girl who made a difference.

We are facing an emergency, and we need to act like it is an emergency.

We are the last generation that can fix this.

I am just speaking the truth, because no one else is doing it.

The climate crisis is not a political issue. It is a scientific issue.

I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.

I have Asperger’s, and I think in many ways that makes me see the world differently.

How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.

Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope. We can't solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis.

We don’t need to ‘lower’ emissions. We need to stop them.
