00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:04.135
This is not a drill.

00:00:04.375 --> 00:00:06.651
My name is Greta Thunberg.

00:00:06.852 --> 00:00:10.212
We are living in the beginning 
of a mass extinction.

00:00:11.171 --> 00:00:13.612

Our climate is breaking down.

00:00:14.022 --> 00:00:18.217
Children like me are giving up 
their education to protest.

00:00:18.561 --> 00:00:20.897
But we can still fix this.

00:00:20.897 --> 00:00:22.963
You can still fix this.

00:00:23.372 --> 00:00:26.577
To survive, we need 
to stop burning fossil fuels.

00:00:27.217 --> 00:00:29.822
But this alone will not be enough.

00:00:30.112 --> 00:00:32.692
Lots of solutions are talked about.

00:00:32.692 --> 00:00:35.412
But what about the solution 
that is right in front of us?

00:00:35.682 --> 00:00:38.112

I’ll let my friend George explain.

00:00:38.211 --> 00:00:42.721
There is a magic machine 
that sucks carbon out of the air

00:00:42.721 --> 00:00:44.418
costs very little

00:00:44.418 --> 00:00:46.466
and builds itself.

00:00:46.576 --> 00:00:47.929
It’s called...

00:00:47.929 --> 00:00:48.872
a tree.

00:00:48.952 --> 00:00:53.692
A tree is an example 
of a natural climate solution.

00:00:53.692 --> 00:00:56.502
Mangroves, peat bogs, jungles, 
marshes, seabeds,

00:00:56.502 --> 00:00:58.772
kelp forests, swamps, coral reefs,

00:00:58.772 --> 00:01:02.692
they take carbon out of the air 
and lock it away.

00:01:03.212 --> 00:01:07.883
Nature is a tool we can use 
to repair our broken climate.

00:01:08.502 --> 00:01:12.325
These natural climate solutions 
could make a massive difference.

00:01:12.325 --> 00:01:14.012
Pretty cool, right?

00:01:14.222 --> 00:01:17.622
But only if we also leave fossil fuels 
in the ground.

00:01:19.702 --> 00:01:21.892
Here’s the crazy part...

00:01:21.892 --> 00:01:24.402
right now we are ignoring them.

00:01:25.744 --> 00:01:30.548
We spend 1000 times more 
on global fossil fuels subsidies

00:01:30.548 --> 00:01:32.842
than natural based solutions.

00:01:32.842 --> 00:01:35.377
Natural climate solutions get just 2%

00:01:35.377 --> 00:01:39.053
of all the money used 
on tackling climate breakdown.

00:01:39.394 --> 00:01:41.021
This is your money.

00:01:41.021 --> 00:01:43.468
It is your taxes and your savings.

00:01:43.773 --> 00:01:44.958
Even more crazy

00:01:44.958 --> 00:01:47.211
right now when we need nature the most,

00:01:47.211 --> 00:01:50.094
we’re destroying it faster than ever.

00:01:50.094 --> 00:01:54.228
Up to 200 species are going extinct 
every single day.

00:01:54.462 --> 00:01:57.050
Much of the arctic ice is gone.

00:01:57.050 --> 00:01:59.029
Most of our wild animals have gone.

00:01:59.029 --> 00:02:01.012
Much of our soil has gone.

00:02:01.012 --> 00:02:02.813

So what should we do?

00:02:02.813 --> 00:02:04.374
What should YOU do?

00:02:04.374 --> 00:02:05.458
It’s simple...

00:02:05.458 --> 00:02:06.225
We need to

00:02:06.225 --> 00:02:07.429
PROTECT

00:02:07.429 --> 00:02:08.501
RESTORE

00:02:08.501 --> 00:02:09.513
and FUND.

00:02:10.084 --> 00:02:11.198
PROTECT

00:02:11.198 --> 00:02:13.325
Tropical forests are being cut down

00:02:13.325 --> 00:02:16.153
at the rate of
30 football pitches a minute.

00:02:16.153 --> 00:02:18.679
Where Nature is doing something vital

00:02:18.679 --> 00:02:20.505
we must protect it.

00:02:20.505 --> 00:02:21.878
RESTORE

00:02:21.878 --> 00:02:24.581
Much of our planet has been damaged.

00:02:24.581 --> 00:02:26.581
But Nature can regenerate

00:02:26.581 --> 00:02:30.042
and we can help ecosystems bounce back.

00:02:31.051 --> 00:02:31.881
FUND

00:02:32.702 --> 00:02:36.172
We need to stop funding things
that destroy nature

00:02:36.172 --> 00:02:38.412
and pay for things that help it.

00:02:39.112 --> 00:02:40.756
It is that simple

00:02:40.756 --> 00:02:42.018
PROTECT

00:02:42.018 --> 00:02:43.044
RESTORE

00:02:43.044 --> 00:02:43.801
FUND

00:02:44.502 --> 00:02:46.452
This can happen everywhere;

00:02:46.452 --> 00:02:49.727
Many people have already begun 
using natural climate solutions.

00:02:49.887 --> 00:02:52.652
We need to do it on a massive scale.

00:02:52.952 --> 00:02:54.672

You can be part of this.

00:02:55.372 --> 00:02:57.771
VOTE for people who defend nature.

00:02:58.131 --> 00:02:59.611
SHARE this video.

00:02:59.611 --> 00:03:00.621
Talk about this.

00:03:01.051 --> 00:03:03.816
All around the world
there are amazing movements

00:03:03.816 --> 00:03:04.933
fighting for nature.

00:03:05.313 --> 00:03:06.171
JOIN them.

00:03:13.842 --> 00:03:15.768
Everything counts.

00:03:17.918 --> 00:03:19.915
What you do, counts.
