Rolling coverage of the first day of the World Economic Forum, including Donald Trump’s special address and Greta Thunberg’s panel session 8.07am GMT Q: Do activists feel they are being heard enough? Greta gives the audience the giggles, by pointing out that she doesn’t have a problem here. I can’t complain about being heard, I’m being heard all the time. But science isn’t at the centre of the conversation, and it needs to be. 7.58am GMT Natasha Wang Mwansa, the 18-year old women’s and girls’ activist from Zambia, has issued a loud warning to the global elite that young activists are determined to change the world. We are able to step out and say ‘this is what we want’, explains Mwansa. “We haven’t let our age stop us.” The older generation has experience, but we have ideas and energy. 7.52am GMT Salvador Gómez-Colón, a 16-year old activist from San Juan, Puerto Rico, speaks next. He says world leaders need to stop treating climate change as a political issue, a social-economic issue or a racial issue. The climate crisis just is. And until we address that, we’re not getting anywhere. We’re not the future, we’re the present. And we’re acting now. 7.49am GMT Clean water advocate Autumn Peltier, speaks next. Peltier, a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation, says she has seen a lot more youths standing up for issues that matter, since she challenged Canadian PM Justin Trudeau at the age of 12 7.45am GMT 7.42am GMT The panel begins with a short film about the new wave of young climate activists around the globe – it’s pretty inspiring, and gets a round of applause from the assembled audience. Greta Thunberg then speaks about the remarkable 18 months since she started her climate strike. People are more aware now. It feels like the climate and environment is a hot topic now, thanks to young people pushing. Without treating this as a real crisis we cannot solve it. 7.36am GMT Greta’s panel is the youngest ever convened at the World Economic Forum, if you exclude moderator Edward Felsenthal of Time Magazine (Felsenthal jokes). 7.34am GMT WEF’s panel session on creating a sustainable path towards a better world is starting now. The room is packed. Greta Thunberg is joined by: 7.21am GMT As usual, there’s bumper-to-bumper traffic on the streets of Davos, as the global elite are shuttled around in luxury limos or in ‘green’ shuttle-buses. There’s also a strong security presence – I saw about a dozen soldiers, some armed, as I scuttled along the icy pavements to the Congress Centre. There’s the usual high security on the entrances to WEF too (airport-style scanners, no liquids allowed). 7.17am GMT Greta is in the building….ready for her first panel session in 15 minutes time or so. 7.12am GMT Good morning from Davos, where the 50th World Economic Forum is getting underway. Around 3,000 heads of state, business chiefs, academics, activists, celebrities and journalists have descended for their annual splurge of meetings, speeches, parties, top-level discussions and general pontificating. We demand that at this year’s forum, participants from all companies, banks, institutions and governments immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies and immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels. We don’t want these things done by 2050, 2030 or even 2021, we want this done now – as in right now.
