• Greta Thunberg: the world is still in a state of climate crisis denial

Two years on from Greta Thunberg's first solo school strike for the climate, she says the world has wasted the time by failing to take the necessary action on the crisis.

Thunberg's strike inspired a global movement, and on Thursday she and other leading school strikers will meet Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, which holds the rotating presidency of the European council. They will demand a halt to all fossil fuel investments and subsidies and the establishment of annual, binding carbon budgets based on the best science.
