Greta Thunberg\u00a0and over 40 other activists\u00a0<\/a>blocked\u00a0<\/a> the entrance to the Swedish parliament on Monday, demanding action on the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The activists held signs that said “Climate Justice Now,” and Thunberg expressed her dissatisfaction with how the Swedish government is handling the global emergency.<\/p>\n

“Sweden is unfortunately not unique in completely ignoring the climate crisis, not treating it as an emergency at all. But actively trying to greenwash, deceive, and lie in order to make it seem like they are doing enough and that they are moving in the right direction, when in fact the exact opposite is happening,” Thunberg\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thunberg went on to say that Sweden is “very good at greenwashing,” even though the country has “very high emissions per capita.” She said the country cannot claim to be a climate leader.<\/p>\n

\nAre we seeing the dawn of a global youth movement?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the vested interests of companies and governments, Can we make progress toward sustainable development?<\/a><\/p>\n

Local resistance actions: can they save sustainable development?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe climate justice movement has for decades tried to get our message across, and scientists and the most affected people have been sounding the alarm for even longer than that,\u201d she said. \u201cBut the people in power have not been listening. They have been actively ignoring and silence those speaking out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thunberg has\u00a0faced\u00a0<\/a> the risk of going to jail over her climate protests repeatedly in recent years, and she has\u00a0continued\u00a0<\/a> to sound the alarm that countries are not doing enough to fight the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

The Swedish government has been facing intense criticism recently for enacting policies that will likely increase its carbon emissions. Thunberg vowed to continue her resistance to such policies.<\/p>\n

“The climate crisis is only going to get worse and so it is all our responsibilities, all of those who have an opportunity to act must do so. We encourage everyone who can to join us and to join the climate justice movement,” Thunberg\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n
