99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is not a drill. My name is Greta Thunberg.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

We are living in the beginning of a mass exøncøon.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Our climate is breaking down.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Children like me are giving up their educaøon to protest.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

But we can søll fix this. You can søll fix this.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

To survive, we need to stop burning fossil fuels. But this alone will not be enough.


9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lots of soluøons are talked about. But what about the soluøon that is right in front of us?

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

I’ll let my friend George explain.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

There is a magic machine that sucks carbon out of the air, costs very li le, and builds itself. It’s called, a tree.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

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.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Nature is a tool we can use to repair our broken climate.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

These natural climate soluøons could make a massive difference.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Pre y cool, right?

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

But only if we also leave fossil fuels in the ground.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Here’s the crazy part: right now we are ignoring them.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

We spend 1000 øme more on global fossil fuels subsidies than natural based soluøons.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Natural climate soluøons get just 2% of all the money used on tackling climate breakdown.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

This is your money. It is your taxes and your savings.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Even more crazy, when we need nature the most, we’re destroying it faster than ever.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Up to 200 species are going exønct every single day.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Much of the arcøc ice is gone. Most of our wild animals have gone. Much of our soil has gone.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

So what should we do?

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

What should you do?

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

It’s simple. We need to protect, restore, and fund.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Protect. Tropical forests are being cut down at the rate of 30 football pitches a minute.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Where Nature is doing something vital, we must protect it.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Restore. Much of our planet has been damaged.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

But Nature can regenerate, and we can help ecosystems bounce back.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Fund.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

We need to stop funding things that destroy Nature, and pay for things that help it.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

It is that simple. Protect. Restore. Fund.

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

This can happen everywhere. Many people have already begun using natural climate soluøons. We need to do it on a massive scale.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

You can be part of this.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Vote for people who defend nature.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Share this video. Talk about this.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

All around the world there are amazing movements. Fighøng for Nature. Join them.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

Everything counts. What you do, counts.
