DAVOS, Switzerland – Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg accused attendees of the World Economic Forum in Davos of “fuelling the destruction of the planet”, as she arrived at the event in the Swiss Alps on Thursday.
“We are right now in Davos where basically the people who are mostly fuelling the destruction of the planet,” she said. “The people who are at the very core of the climate crisis, the people who are investing in fossil fuels etc, and yet somehow these are the people that we seem to rely on for solving our problems,” she added.
The 20-year-old Swede spoke on the sidelines of the WEF with fellow activists Helena Gualinga of Ecuador, Vanessa Nakate of Uganda and Luisa Neubauer of Germany at a CNBC panel that included International Energy Agency head Fatih Birol.“Without massive public pressure from the outside, these people are going to go as far as they possibly can, as long as they can, to get away with it,” she said. “They will continue to invest in fossil fuels.
Mr Birol said the energy sector must be transformed, or “we have no chance whatsoever to reach our climate targets”.“It is now time to ring the alarm bells, bring the climate crisis together with other crises, the energy crisis, the food crisis, atop of the international policy agenda,” he said.
