Below is the editorial text, faithfully adapted from Greta Thunberg’s original speech delivered on 8 December 2018, preserved in its message and integrity.
“Your silence is almost worst of all.
The future of all the coming generations rests on your shoulder.
Those of us who are still children can’t change what you do now once we’re old enough to do something about it.
A lot of people say that Sweden is a small country, that it doesn’t matter what we do. But I think that if a few girls can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school for a few weeks, imagine what we could do together if we wanted to.”
