The children in 1992 become adults sitting in this conference room in 2020 and are listening to a girl critizing them just like 28 years ago.

So this is greta before the software update?

In 1992, this epically inspiring speech resonated with my frustrated 15-year-old self and so many of us. As it seemingly reverberated around the world, it offered us some glimmer of hope that the adults in charge might finally listen to reason and give the next generation the chance to change and do better. Yet in 30 years, our immense technological progress mostly seems to distract us from the repeated utter failings on a global scale.

anyone else watching this in 2019.... under water?

rinse and repeat boys, rinse and repeat

Hi I am Leonela I am from Timor-Leste the smallest country in the world. I love listen to this speech many times and it makes me cry because we don't know when will we stop doing this to help our world for a better life. thank you.

If this was filmed yesterday, thanks to social media, this girl would be famous

I’m back to watch this after 5 years. This speech has the same effect on me no matter how many times I watch this video. Anyone in 2024? This generation needs this the most.

I wish there was a news outlet that would interview her circa 2019 to see if she made it.

one has to say as children one has visions children could really make this world better I hope Susuki has not let herself take anything away from her conviction but life changes a mostly but in a negative direction

the words you said here has really impacted me and i just know it has changed a lot of peoples perspective on climate change, its sad to know that 28 years later, we are still facing the same problem. lets be together and work harder for mother earth!

I was brought here by the short animated film “Only a Child” and this speech moves me in a way no other speech has

anyone else watching this for online school

Hi! Anak - anak kelas 9

Oh wow hi Greta

2022, nothing has changed for the better. 🎉

before Ted talk there was this speech by her that lighted a fire inside me as a school student back in the day. it influenced me to do the same, make little ripples of change 🙏❤

Speech given by a 13 year old at UN, 14 June 1992.... Almost 3 decades have passed by and non of the UN Representatives listed to the Warning of Global warming, cause their greed 💰🪙 caused them to turn a blind eye 🥺😢

Just a nice speech, honest, no comedy or simulated tears like we saw recently..... Unfortunately, 21years later, the same speech is repeated and no improvement will be done, I bet my shirt....

Anyone watching in 2021 for the online school? 🇮🇳😁

I think I'll pass my online exam after watching this 🥰🥰

This girl who is now an adult woman is such a much better person than me in what she says and does. By speaking there. This is true love. We and the planet opposite I would have seen it earlier, she would probably have become my role model and not Michael Jorden. Thank you dear Severn Susuki you are a true role model. And to all those who long for it wake up and do not think only of you. Everyone can make their contribution and prevent the unscrupulous can continue so the girl has something of right in what she says. I've never been as impressed by a person as I have been. And I am now 38 years old and have already known many people and heard many talk. I hope Severn Susuki is doing well in 2020

2022 it's 30 years back then and people still doesn't wake up.

Das war vor knapp 30 Jahren und es hat sich kaum etwas geändert.

Same script

Wow ! Wonderful speech beta..(gujarat- India)

26 years later and they still have not listened to us

История, значит, стара как мир. Маленькая девочка возвращается каждые 27 лет.

Wonderful

This wasn't heard then, and too little has changed in the intervening years ; those that should have listened then had their ears so far up the backsides of Corporate Profiteers that it didn't matter who might have been talking. Children are told they " are the future " and yet , when they try to responsibly speak what's on their hearts and minds they are told they " don't understand" . Greta's Message isn't plagiarism , it's the Loop of Warning that those with the ability to make change happen, refuse to hear now, as back then. God Help Us.

Lets use kids as human shields so people that point out their lies are seen as bullies.

This used to be posted as a YT video (now taken down) a decade or more ago, called something along the lines of "the greatest speech ever", and I remember it clearly because I keep going back to it since it was a really compelling speech. Fast forward 2023, I search 'greatest speech ever' but I find out the old video was gone and my search is filled with videos of other supposedly 'great' speeches - one of the channels that claims to post the greatest speech is a channel called 'Alpha Male'. I can't help but feel that since a decade ago, there has been a radical shift to the right and the 'idea' that the Overton window is what it is now with people talking more openly with their conservative points with no willingness to hear the other side as being apart of this radical shift. The same could be claimed of the radical left. But although this is true it can't be said it's because of the views themselves. The way apps are being built, with their filters and the algorithms behind these social platforms with their 'experts' who strategise how to pull the viewer more into a streamline view (of like-like posts) - it could be blamed for undermining a free flow discussion where you have multiple perspectives who are able to share. However because of the filters they put into pockets groups of people with like minded views and opinions. But being aware of this, one should have a moral obligation to hear out the other views with a stance of initial non-judgement until it's clear that it's either extreme, diagonal, false, genuine, funny, sad, happy. The real problem is that we are so readily open to judge the other and would only hold onto those views most like our own... Or who's interests align with ours we forget what being egalitarian really means. Not to mention the trolls who intentionally create dissenting opinions out of bad faith. Which the social platforms supposedly support, but forget that the nature of social network is to develop bubbles not a pool.

How many trees she planted for last 27 years since this speech? How many years did she actually worked on the real job? - ZERO or so, right? ... such a prominent example of sustainable living, right?

Severn still lives a privileged life in Canada.

Almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. Except for the damage - that got worse.

over 30 years later and nothing has changed

Speech very very very beautiful

Nice speech.. Let's gives love and respect.

I'm here because of my module she's really Great 1/22/2022 Philippines♥️

"make your actions speaks your works.."

The scary thing is this speech went unheard because things are even worse now 30 years later. Failure in global leadership and this video is proof. Timestamp all of this to see if things change in another 30 years.

Which is more? The amount of nature that humans have destroyed and use OR The amount of nature that humans can circulate and use. translated by google app.

inspiring.

And now, 28 years later nothing changed.

Who's watching in 2021??

Track ID??

Anyone else watching this speech in 2023❤😅

"(We) should act as one single world, toward one single goal". O Rly? That about sums up the speech in a few words.

이러한 청소년들이 있는 지구의 미래는 밝으리라 믿고싶네요^^

How the girl say everything l am amazed and this was world's best speech

Merinding 😭😭😭😭

Apparently the world didn't end and she the world continues to grow. We didn't steal her future.

she said morgan geyser is part of the group, isn't that the name of the slender man killer?

Heart touching speech

Did she actually write this speech by herself? if so good job. How was she herself able to get an audience with this huge organization raise money to go there and spend at least a few days in Rio? It wasn't just her it's someone with an agenda much like Greta Thunberg today.

Did Time have her on the cover back then?

Its been 28 years already, but nothing changed, its only getting worst

forced to watch by my teacher

What a shame, she's doing her best, But the delivery, hesitating and variable, makes it clear she is reading from a script, most probably prepared by somebody else. PS It just occurred to me, if all the attendees at Rio believe the g@rbage the poor girl is spouting, it is small wonder politicians are able to destroy democracy wherever they find it!

"HOW DARE YOU?"

Yes, David Suzuki's daughter was right. The rain forests are now gone, along with all the animals. I could have sworn ozone depletion was halted in the '80s, but apparently we're all nearly dead from UV radiation. In 1992 this little girl was afraid to go fishing, afraid to go in the sun, and even afraid to breathe the air. FOR REAL. She was totally afraid of all that and still is because everything's worse now. Remember salmon? Remember trees? Hopefully she's passed this ostensible paranoia on to her kids.

So nice to

Nothing has changed 30 years later and it actually got worse... .

The first Greta

if you cannot fix it. stop breaking it... key words

You have a good chance more than anyone nowadays! 😄🍏.

how dare people make fun of this girl. such a young girl and so mature.

How true

How long have they been telling kids the world is ending?

Why does some one have to waste 50 seconds with pictures and music . Now I have to tell every one skip the first 50 seconds . Your attempt to make a good speech better only serves to have less people view it.. All you get at most is 15 seconds to grab someone’s attention! You obviously want to propagate the message of the speech, Well do so by Putting your music and pictures at the end if you must and more people well get to hear this moving speech! Aye caramba’ Ps some friendly advice

It's so touching

2021 anyone???
