LONDON. The young Swedish environmentalist Greta Thunberg was not “officially” invited to COP26, who today animated the protest in London on the occasion of the Day of Action, with thousands of activists taking to the streets in 26 cities around the world, a few days after UN climate conference in Glasgow. The eco-teen stressed her failure to invite to the summit in an interview for the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, which is due to air on Sunday but which the British media has published a preview. “I think many people might be afraid if too many young radicals were invited, because they could make a bad impression,” said the young woman.
He also specified that “we need more representation from the so-called global south, the people and areas most affected” by climate change. During the London protests, which targeted the City banks engaged in investments in the fossil fuel sector, Greta reached the protesters in front of the headquarters of the Standard Chartered financial institution and shouted at them: “We are unstoppable, another world is possible ». And in unison they added: «What do we want? Justice for the climate. When do we want it? Now”.
