cities from the pacific. and then from africa to australia. some of the days of the marches began. in school i'm learning about the effects of climate change and i'm learning that we need to do something yeah i'm saying that the people in charge and the people who are running our country on doing anything. t to me thihis is confusing so i'm here today to step up and say normal. it's not just the young and students that are protesting only t t- coconcern of the climate change has spread to every part of society with private enterprise also sitting up to take notice. friday sees five thousand events across a hundred and ten towns and cities worldwide. all with the same objective. encouraging elected officials and businesses to commit to a targeted net. zero carbon dioxide emissions by twenty thirty. the hehead may be long. related carbon dioxide emissions hit a record high of thirty seven point one billion times in twenty eighteen but activists who are likely to see the worst effects refused to lose hope. a lot of years can vote they don't have decision

out in support of the process today. well it's spectacular. i think it's a fantastic credit to the crime plummet use newton's to mobilize. people across so many constance and in so many cities. to address this unprecedented challenges of climate change. it has taken leadership of criticism back in particular but many others to bring to the world's attention the urgency of this problem are we not about this problem for a long long time. climate change was understood as a potential problem over a hundred years ago. understood how serious it was the many decades. but the fact of the matter is the government's hands society at large is not paid sufficient attention. i'm also say i think it's an amazing achievement that the youth movement has managed to do this in this unprecedented way i mean as you

as you say mrs sutton climate change it remains a major global challenge and has been you know for some time. is it the fact that there's a centrino global vision on how to deal with that that that's complicating things. it's obviously has beeeen veryy difficult to get to global agreements. but the paris agreemenent was a very i importt linene mockk where globabal grig was reached. and of f coursese t invovolves pledges frorom mososf the countries in the world. to address the problem not to solve it but to address the problem so that was a very important step forward. and now we need to build on that platform. in the- fororthcoming government meetings to further strengthen those pledges and- generate the rapid momentum that canan be achieved a and we seen for example. rocketsts fuls inin thehe process of renewable

energy this is a sign of what can be done. and does it say we essentially just need to accelerate that momentum in the right direction get all the incentives aligned. so the businesssses and- communities worldwide can all help. to contribute to addressing and solving the problem collectively that that's what we need to do and what we so far failed today. when it comes to climate change was the sudden people you know acting in an and really being able to relate to climate change they're always looking for concrete examples take place for example that with you k know ststuff that here in in europe cut this year. can we say that heat wave all directly linked to climate change and as such all the set to continue. yes abablutely s say the increase in the frequency and the intensityy of heat waves i is directly linked to climate change caused by. human emissions of. greenhouse gases. so because
