Greta Thunberg on climate change

From For Nature | A Film By Greta Thunberg · · Nature Nurtures

“When we think about the villains of the climate crisis, of course we picture fossil fuel companies, but agriculture and land use together are about one quarter of our emissions. This is huge. It doesn't have to be like this. If we change towards a plant-based diet, we could save up to 8 billion tons of CO2 every single year.”

Presenting #ForNature, Greta Thunberg for International Biodiversity Day, sponsored by Mercy For Animals. It’s a challenging and complex subject and hard to distil. How do you allow people to make up their own minds and not turn away? How do you show this stuff visually? Working on this with Greta and Bram, who edited the film, has been really creatively satisfying. These interconnected issues have no single solution, and as she says in the film, ‘Some of us have lots of choices, while some have none at all.’ I hope this helps people engage with their place in this story and with their relationship to nature. Because if we don't change.... Shout-out to Evie who produced it long distance in lockdown, and Nathan who shot beautifully with Greta in Stockholm. �George Fitzgerald for the beautiful music and Coppershell Farm Sanctuary for a brilliant two days filming with their amazing rescued animals with the ever-lovely George Woodcock ��� Music by @georgefitzmusic Editor @bramonthego for @specialtreatsproductions Producer @evaniakeziaoofs Swedish Unit Director @NathanGrossman Camera Assistant @bennebrunnet Production Assistant @jhaggstrom & @johannaholmqvist UK Unit DoP George Woodcock Thanks to @Coppershellfarm and @annie.its.not.ok for research

About Greta Thunberg

Swedish activist · Activist

In late 2025, Greta Thunberg was active in multiple international campaigns. On December 4, she delivered the Right Livelihood Award acceptance speech on behalf of Justice For Myanmar, calling on governments to reject the military junta's upcoming "sham election" and to stop the flow of funds, arms, and fuel to the junta. She described the military's actions since the 2021 coup as a "campaign of terror" involving mass killings, torture, and sexual violence, and stated that the same perpetrators were responsible for genocide against the Rohingya. She also expressed solidarity with oppressed people "from Palestine to Ukraine, from East Turkistan to Sudan." Thunberg participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Italy in late November, where she referred to the Italian government as "fascist" and said Italy was "one of the most complicit countries in this genocide" regarding its support for Israel. At a rally in Genoa, she argued that the goal of Israel was "to cleanse Palestine of the Palestinians" and called for "an end of the genocide and accountability for it." She also spoke at the University of Verona, criticizing the institution for attempting to "silence political messages." Earlier in the month, she commented on COP30, describing it as "déjà vu with extra air conditioning" and calling Donald Trump "the biggest threat to climate change."
