Sustainable Development Goals / Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável / Greta Thunberg messages / Climate Action Summit 2019


Environmental activists Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot have helped produce a short film highlighting the need to protect, restore and use nature to tackle the climate crisis. Living ecosystems like forests, mangroves, swamps and seabeds can pull enormous quantities of carbon from the air and store them safely, but natural climate solutions currently receive only 2% of the funding spent on cutting emissions. The film’s director, Tom Mustill of Gripping Films, said: 'We tried to make the film have the tiniest environmental impact possible. We took trains to Sweden to interview Greta, charged our hybrid car at George’s house, used green energy to power the edit and recycled archive footage rather than shooting new.'

Os ativistas ambientais Greta Thunberg e George Monbiot ajudaram a produzir um curta-metragem, destacando a necessidade de proteger, restaurar e usar a natureza para enfrentar a crise climática. Ecossistemas vivos, como florestas, manguezais, pântanos e fundos marinhos, podem extrair enormes quantidades de carbono do ar e armazená-los com segurança, mas as soluções climáticas naturais atualmente recebem apenas 2% do financiamento gasto no corte de emissões. O diretor do filme, Tom Mustill, da Gripping Films, disse: 'Tentamos fazer com que o filme tivesse o menor impacto ambiental possível. Pegamos trens para a Suécia para entrevistar Greta, carregamos nosso carro híbrido na casa de George, usamos energia verde para alimentar a edição e a reciclagem de imagens de arquivos em vez de filmar novas. '



You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,' climate activist Greta Thunberg has told world leaders at the 2019 UN climate action summit in New York. In an emotionally charged speech, she accused them of ignoring the science behind the climate crisis, saying: 'We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about it money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth - how dare you?'
