“Enough already!” of fossil energies was the cry of Gualinga, who together with Thunberg and two other activists of his generation, launched a petition against the energies. “We are from different parts of the world but we are fighting for the same purpose,” he said.
“One thing that I think we don’t realize or feel or understand in places of such wealth and power and greed is that the planet Earth around us is in immense, immense pain,” said Pakistani activist Ayisha Siddiqa, who participated this week in the debates.
The delusion of this event is absolutely ridiculous. It’s horrendous! said Siddiqa, whose country suffered devastating floods last year that killed more than 1,700 people and caused multi-million dollar damage.
Thunberg, who was briefly detained by police in Germany earlier this week at a protest against the expansion of a coal mine, did not speak during the demonstration.
On Thursday he participated in a round table outside the official agenda in which he accused the political and business elite attending the forum of “feeding the destruction of the planet.”
The 2023 edition of the Davos Forum addressed, among other topics, global climate risks and the transition to a green economy for the year 2030.
