Activist Greta Thunberg explained that the Fridays for Future movement has not yet managed to push through sufficient action to tackle climate change.
"Imagining what the world will look like in ten years is impossible right now." For this reason, the duty of the international community is to "prevent the consequences of climate change as much as possible." Greta Thunberg opened a special day of mobilisation for the Fridays for Future movement.

The young Swedish activist answered questions from journalists from around the world just a few minutes before a march through Madrid, while the United Nations world climate conference, Cop 25, is in full swing. "I really hope this event brings something concrete and helps raise awareness among the population. Our movement has contributed to that and this is a great achievement," Greta Thunberg explained.
"However," she added, "if from this point of view we can say we have done a great deal, from another the data tell us we have done nothing. Greenhouse gas emissions are in fact continuing to rise. Which indicates that the climate crisis is effectively still being ignored by those who hold power."
