Thunberg urges climate action because 'people are dying'
Teen activist Greta Thunberg on Friday urged world leaders gathered in Madrid for a UN climate conference to take urgent action to fight climate change, warning "we can't afford" more delays because "people are dying".
"We can't afford any more days without real action being taken. Every chance to improve the situation we must take," the 16-year-old Swede told a press conference before taking part in a climate rally in the Spanish capital later on Friday.
"We have been striking now for over a year and still basically nothing has happened. The climate crisis is still being ignored by those in power," she added.
"We would love some action by people in power because people are suffering and dying due to the climate and ecological emergency and we cant wait any longer."
