Massive public pressure needed to galvanise climate fight Thunberg
BRUSSELS: Calling for "massive" pressure to fight climate change after Monday's (Aug 9) dire report by a UN science panel, activist Greta Thunberg said she plans to go to this year’s global climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, after all.
The major UN conference will test countries' ambition to limit global warming, which a landmark scientific report on Monday warned was dangerously close to escalating beyond the limits countries agreed on.
"I hope that this can be a wake-up call, in every possible way," Thunberg said of the report, in an interview with Reuters.
"When these extreme weather events are happening, many say, what will it take for people in power to start acting? What are they waiting for? And it will take many things, but especially, it will take massive pressure from the public and massive pressure from the media," she said.
The UN report landed just three months before the Glasgow conference in November.
