Extinction Rebellion

"It's still not too late to avoid the worst effects of the #ClimateEmergency. But governments need to act NOW," tweeted Greenpeace.

"At shareholders meetings like this, money is the only priority—even if it is at the expense of integrity, people's lives, and the climate."

"Many young people feel suffocated by fear of what is to come," says an Extinction Rebellion Youth activist, "and now with this pandemic maybe others will start to understand our fear for the future."

"Of course, we want to reopen the economy, but we think we should do it on a different basis from before."

"When citizens are told the truth about the climate crisis—which is the first of Extinction Rebellion's demands—they take appropriate and responsible action, as our jury did, and we thank them."

"Basically, nothing is being done to halt this crisis despite all the beautiful words and promises from our elected officials."

Without Thunberg and the Fridays for Future movement, "the climate issue would not have been on the agenda to such an extent as it is today."

"The banks, insurers, and pension funds here at Davos are culpable for the climate emergency."

"Now it's time to see... if there will really be major changes that take us away from the catastrophic path we find ourselves on."
