Greta Thunberg Arrives in New York

Greta Thunberg takes questions after she arrives in New York after her trip across the Atlantic. Her journey, on the zero emissions sailboat Malizia II started on August 14th in Plymouth UK. The boat is captained by Boris Herrmann, a professional race skipper, and Pierre Casiraghi, founder of the Malizia team. The Malizia II allowed her to make a zero-emissions journey because of solar panels and underwater turbines that generate electricity. Greta will participate in a number of events in the US and Canada, including speaking to state officials, participating at the UN climate summit, and striking with youth in NYC at the Global Youth Climate Strike on September 20th. She will set sail again in October to arrive to Santiago, Chile, for COP 25.
