Climate activist Greta Thunberg has called on Australia to "wake up and treat the climate emergency like an emergency".
Speaking from her home in Sweden to ABC's 7.30 program, Ms Thunberg issued a warning to Australians relying on politicians to deliver the actions required to save the planet.
"It seems like many people in Australia think that now we have a new government, everything we'll be fine," she said ahead of the annual UN Climate Change Conference, opening in Egypt on November 6.
