In her first extended broadcast interview in the United States, Democracy Now! spent an hour with Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who has inspired millions across the globe. Since her strike began in 2018, Greta has become a leading figure in the climate justice movement. She has joined protests across Europe. She has addressed world leaders at the U.N. climate talks in Poland and the European Union Parliament. She has even met the pope. And now she is in New York to join a global climate strike on September 20 and address the U.N. Climate Action Summit on September 23. She is also planning to attend the U.N. climate summit in Santiago, Chile, in December.
