The Swedish teen was mobbed as she arrived in Spain for the COP25 climate change summit, where insiders say a consensus declaration is proving 'difficult'.
Activists of all ages and from all corners of the planet demanded concrete action Friday against climate change from leaders and negotiators at a global summit in Madrid.
Two young activists earned cheers as they abseiled from a bridge and strung out a banner saying: "Just 8 years till 1.5 degrees C. HOW DARE YOU?" - a reference to scientists' forecasts of rising temperatures and what activists complain is a lack of a convincing political response to the threat. Earlier in the day, the 16-year-old had said at a press conference that calls for real action against climate change are still being "ignored" by political leaders despite their continuous praise of the global environmental youth movement she helped create.
