Greta asks media to focus on other young climate activists

Celebrity environmentalist Greta Thunberg is urging media to pay more attention to or young climate activists. 16-year-old Swede has drawn huge crowds with her appearances at protests and conferences over past year.“Our stories have been told over and over again,” Thunberg said as she spoke Monday at a U.N. climate meeting in Mrid alongside prominent German activist Luisa Neubauer. “re is need to listen to us anymore.”

Thunberg has been centre of attention at climate talks ever since she sailed back to Europe last week, having shunned air travel for environmental reasons. She left a protest march through Spanish capital early after being mobbed by crowds of protesters and reporters Friday.“It is people especially from global south, especially from indigeus communities, who need to tell ir stories,” she said before handing mic to or young activists from United States, Philippines, Russia, Uganda, Chine and Marshall Islands.
