It is not only the right thing to do from an environmental, social and ethical point of view, but also from an economic and development point of view."

Feeling pretty emotional today. Seems like the world is finally standing up for nature. Hopefully this is the start of something wonderful.

To @Fridays4future: "Thank you!
#ClimateChange is just the tip of the iceberg
If we forget about other environmental issues, we risk making those problems worse while solving climate change
What we need is a global sustainable economy."
