At the UN Climate Conference today Greta Thunberg made only a short introductory speech at the Fridays for Future press conference, and used the occasion for young people and indigenous youth from around the world to tell their frontline stories of the Climate crisis, and the climate iumpacts already being felt.
The press conference was only open for media to attend, observers were locked out. My tweets were done in Hall 4 watching the UNFCCC webcast.
The press conference at #COP25 with #FridaysForFuture Greta Thunberg, Luisa Neubauer is on at 10.30am (30 mins time) https://t.co/20ZkkiBgsF
