Greta Thunberg took to the stage at the Glastonbury Festival today and warned the huge crowd of a 'climate and ecological emergency'. The 19-year-old environment activist from Sweden delivered a speech from the Pyramid Stage to rapturous applause.
Thunberg - whose surprise appearance at Worthy Farm came ahead of the HAIM set on Saturday evening - told the crowd 'we are in the beginning of a climate and ecological emergency' as she opened her speech. She also called on society to 'stand their ground' in the fight to counteract the global climate crisis.
Speaking from the stage the teenager said: "We are approaching the precipice and I would strongly suggest that all of those who have not yet been greenwashed out of our senses to stand our ground.
