The Latest on the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
There aren’t many people, if any at all, who spend 32 hours on a train to get to the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos and then sleep in a tent.
Someone who did is 16-year-old Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg, who was given clearance to miss classes at her Stockholm school to push climate change to the top of the global elites’ agenda.
Thunberg has become her generation’s voice on climate change after inspiring students around the world to go on strike to relay their anger and angst over global warming.
She said Wednesday she is in Davos to “spread the message to people that we are in a crisis and we must take action now.”
Thunberg lambasted attendees who got to Davos by private jet, saying “I think it’s a bit of hypocrisy.”
