NatureNow: Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot make short film on the climate crisis

    This is not a drill. My name is Greta Thunberg.
  • Not Synced

    We are living in the beginning of a mass exøncøon.
  • Not Synced

    Our climate is breaking down.
  • Not Synced

    Children like me are giving up their educaøon to protest.
  • Not Synced

    But we can søll fix this. You can søll fix this.
  • Not Synced

    To survive, we need to stop burning fossil fuels. But this alone will not be enough.
  • Not Synced
    Lots of soluøons are talked about. But what about the soluøon that is right in front of us?
  • Not Synced

    I’ll let my friend George explain.
  • Not Synced

    There is a magic machine that sucks carbon out of the air, costs very li le, and builds itself. It’s called, a tree.
  • Not Synced

    A tree is an example of a natural climate soluøon.


    Mangroves, peatbogs, jungles, marshes, seabeds, kelp forests, swamps, coral reefs, they take carbon out of the air and lock it away.
  • Not Synced

    Nature is a tool we can use to repair our broken climate.
  • Not Synced

    These natural climate soluøons could make a massive difference.
  • Not Synced

    Pre y cool, right?
  • Not Synced

    But only if we also leave fossil fuels in the ground.
  • Not Synced

    Here’s the crazy part: right now we are ignoring them.
  • Not Synced

    We spend 1000 øme more on global fossil fuels subsidies than natural based soluøons.
  • Not Synced

    Natural climate soluøons get just 2% of all the money used on tackling climate breakdown.
  • Not Synced

    This is your money. It is your taxes and your savings.
  • Not Synced

    Even more crazy, when we need nature the most, we’re destroying it faster than ever.
  • Not Synced

    Up to 200 species are going exønct every single day.
  • Not Synced

    Much of the arcøc ice is gone. Most of our wild animals have gone. Much of our soil has gone.
  • Not Synced

    So what should we do?
  • Not Synced

    What should you do?
  • Not Synced

    It’s simple. We need to protect, restore, and fund.
  • Not Synced

    Protect. Tropical forests are being cut down at the rate of 30 football pitches a minute.
  • Not Synced

    Where Nature is doing something vital, we must protect it.
  • Not Synced

    Restore. Much of our planet has been damaged.
  • Not Synced

    But Nature can regenerate, and we can help ecosystems bounce back.
  • Not Synced

    Fund.
  • Not Synced

    We need to stop funding things that destroy Nature, and pay for things that help it.
  • Not Synced

    It is that simple. Protect. Restore. Fund.
  • Not Synced

    This can happen everywhere. Many people have already begun using natural climate soluøons. We need to do it on a massive scale.
  • Not Synced

    You can be part of this.
  • Not Synced

    Vote for people who defend nature.
  • Not Synced

    Share this video. Talk about this.
  • Not Synced

    All around the world there are amazing movements. Fighøng for Nature. Join them.
  • Not Synced

    Everything counts. What you do, counts.
