At a United Nations youth climate summit in New York on Saturday, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg says people showed the world how seriously they take climate change with a strike that took hundreds of thousands out of the classrooms and into the streets around the world.

We showed that we are united and that we, young people, are unstoppable.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was at the conference. He said the climate is of the utmost importance.
I have granddaughters. I want my granddaughters to live in a livable planet. My generation has a huge responsibility. It is your generation that must make us be accountable to make sure that we don't betray the future of humankind.
Thunberg will also speak at the main U.N. Climate Action Summit in the presence of global leaders on Monday.
