    Greta Thunberg, a 15-year-old climate activist from Sweden, spoke on behalf of Climate Justice Now at the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Katowice, Poland. In her speech, she criticized politicians for being too afraid of losing elections to take meaningful action on climate change. She argued that by failing to address humanity's impact on the environment, today's leaders are stealing their children's future. Thunberg called for systemic change, suggesting that if solutions cannot be found within the current political system, then perhaps the system itself needs to change.
