16-year-old Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg has made a passionate speech to world leaders at the UN, accusing them of failing to act on climate change.
The teenage climate activist told governments that they are still not mature enough to tell it like it is.
In the protest that started a movement, Greta skips school to sit outside of the Swedish parliament in Stockholm in order to raise awareness of climate change on 28 August 2018
She says the governments are failing them, adding the young people are starting to understand their betrayal.
She has urged World Leaders to take action.
Thunberg is taking a sabbatical year from school to attend conferences and meetings with policymakers and those impacted by climate change.
But persuading her to come to America wasn't easy. Thunberg refuses to fly because of the high levels of emissions from air travel. When she traveled to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, she traveled by train. It took her 32 hours.
