WATCH: Thousands of young climate activists have converged on Milan this week and some 400 of them - from about 190 countries - are due to engage with policymakers to hammer out proposals for possible solutions
Fears that climate change is worsening grew after a U.N. report in August warned the situation was dangerously close to spiralling out of control, with the world certain to face further disruptions for generations to come."Thirty years of blah, blah, blah," Thunberg told the opening session of a Youth4Climate event on Tuesday.
"There is no planet B ... Change is not only possible but necessary, but not if we go on like we have until today." The meetings come as soaring energy prices on world markets stoke fears of a popular backlash against climate reform.Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg looks on as she speaks during the Youth4Climate pre-COP26 conference in Milan, Italy, September 28, 2021.

COP26 conference aims to secure more ambitious climate action from the nearly 200 countries who signed the 2015 Paris Agreement and agreed to try to limit human-caused global warming to 1.
"Now is the time for leaders of the biggest economies and the biggest greenhouse gas emitters to make much bolder commitments," Britain's COP26 President Alok Sharma, said in a video message on Tuesday.
