- Story Text: Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday (August 30) joined dozens of other young activists in New York to call for international solutions to stem global warming.
Students gathered around the 16-year-old, who arrived in Manhattan on Wednesday (August 28) after a two-week journey from the United Kingdom on a zero-carbon-emissions sailboat. Thunberg is expected to participate in meetings on climate change at the United Nations in September.
Youth climate activists also plan a large demonstration on September 20.
