Search every verified Greta Thunberg interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Greta Thunberg appeared at the All Together Now festival in County Waterford on August 1, 2026, where she delivered a speech she described as a "message of peace." In the address, she stated that she could not give an inspirational or hopeful speech, citing heartbreak over the state of the world and describing the destruction of life-supporting systems and the actions of "war criminals." She argued that hope must be created through action rather than given, and called on attendees to take responsibility and demand change. In June and April 2026, Thunberg participated in the Tech for Palestine Brussels Conference, including a fireside chat with founder Paul Biggar and an interview with The Bupkes. She connected climate activism with other struggles, stating that the same system drives climate exploitation and injustices such as the situation in Palestine. She criticized governments, institutions, and companies for enabling what she termed genocide, and named Swedish officials and companies, including Vice Prime Minister Ebba Busch and Spotify founder Daniel Ek, as complicit. She also discussed the relationship between ecocide and genocide, rejected accusations of antisemitism, and said that using the term to criticize genocide and apartheid waters down its meaning. In the interview, she also mentioned her preference for receiving socks as gifts because she does not buy new clothes.

Because according to international law, states have a legal obligation to act even when there's a risk of genocide. Um that means ending arms transfers, cutting ties, um imposing sanctions, which they are embarrassin”

“Under international law, states have a legal obligation to act to prevent and to stop a genocide from happening; that means ending complicity, applying real pressure and ending arms transfers.”
