Greta Thunberg says climate demands have been 'completely ignored'

January 24, 2020 16:16

Greta Thunberg has said that the World Economic Forum has completely ignored the climate movements demands (on fossil fuel divestment) this week.

"As long as we do not treat this crisis as a crisis, and as long as the facts are ignored, we will not solve this crisis," Thunberg says.

"We need to understand the urgency of this situation," she insists, adding: "Our demands have been completely ignored, and we expected nothing less."

"As long as the science is being ignored, and as long as the facts are not being taken into account, leaders can continue to ignore the situation," Thunberg continues.
