  • One year ago, I came to Davos and told you that our house is on fire.

  • I said I wanted you to panic.

  • I've been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis

  • is a very dangerous thing to do.

  • But don't worry, it's fine.

  • Trust me, I've done this before, and I can assure you

  • it doesn't lead to anything.

  • And for the record, when we children tell you to panic,

  • we're not telling you to go on like before.

  • We're not telling you to offset your emissions by just paying

  • someone else to plant trees in places like Africa,

  • while at the same time forests like the Amazon are being slaughtered

  • as an infinitely higher rate.

  • Planting trees is good, of course, but it's nowhere near enough

  • of what is needed and it cannot replace real mitigation and rewilding nature.

  • And let's be clear, we don't need a low carbon economy.

  • We don't need to lower emissions.

  • Our emissions have to stop if we are to have a chance

  • to stay below the 1.5˚c target.

  • This is not about right or left.

  • We couldn't care less about your party politics.

  • From a sustainability perspective, the right, the left, as well as the centre

  • have all failed.

  • No political ideology or economic structure has been able

  • to tackle the climate and environmental emergency and create a cohesive

  • and sustainable world.

  • Because that world, in case you haven't noticed, is currently on fire.

  • You say children shouldn't worry, you say just leave this to us.

  • We will fix this.

  • We promise we won't let you down. Don't be so pessimistic.

  • And then nothing.

  • Silence or something worse than silence.

  • Empty words and promises which give the impression

  • that sufficient action is being taken.

  • We demand at this year's World Economic Forum, participants from all companies,

  • banks, institutions and governments immediately halt all investments

  • in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies

  • and immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels.

  • We don't want these things done by 2050 or 2030 or even 2021.

  • We want this done now.

  • I wonder, what will you tell your children

  • was the reason to fail and leave them facing a climate chaos

  • that you knowingly brought upon them?

  • That it seemed so bad for the economy that we decided to resign the idea

  • of securing future living conditions without even trying?

  • Our house is still on fire.

  • Your inaction is fuelling the flames by the hour.

  • And we are telling you to act as if your loved your children above all else.

  • Thank you.
