The Queen drew a parallel between the challenges faced by her generation including World War II and the challenge of protecting the environment now
The Queen has used her annual Christmas message today to reflect on a"bumpy" 2019 and praise the"sense of purpose" shown by younger generations facing the climate crisis.
The 93-year-old monarch described her memory of D-Day and the end of World War II before drawing a parallel between the challenges faced by her generation, and the challenge of protecting the environment today. "The challenges many people face today may be different to those once faced by my generation. But I have been struck by how new generations have brought a similar sense of purpose to issues such as protecting our environment, and our climate," she said.
HAH! I just caught up. The Queen just compared action on climate to the challenges faced by her generation. Superb.
