		</div><p>Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has urged world leaders to act together, based on scientists’ advice, in addressing major crises from the Covid-19 pandemic to global warming.</p>
<p>The climate crisis <em>“may not be as immediate as the corona crisis but we need to tackle this now otherwise it will be irreversible,”</em> she said from Stockholm during an Earth Day event.</p>
<p>The 17-year-old Swede pressed governments worldwide to <em>“put your differences aside… go out into the unknown and take decisions that may not make much sense at the moment but in the long run may be necessary.”</em></p>
<p><em>“It is even more important that we listen to science, to the experts. That goes for all crises, whether … the corona crisis or the climate crisis,”</em> she said.</p>

<p>She spoke during an online conversation with Johan Rockstrom, co-director of Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, in a live event organised by the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm.</p>
<p><em>“We will rise from this, but we will not bounce back to the old world,”</em> the Swedish professor said, speaking from Germany.</p>
<p>Greta said the climate crisis is “not slowing down even in times like these” and that a recent drop in pollution linked with widespread lockdown measures to address the pandemic should not leave us “<em>optimistic”</em>.</p>
<p>Many of the world’s large cities have seen great reductions in smog, with concentrations of potentially deadly particulate matter down by as much as 60% over last year.</p>
<p>The improvement in air quality is particularly noticeable in India, which has the world’s most pollution-related deaths with more than two million people every year, according to a December 2019 report by the Global Alliance on Health and Pollution advocacy group.</p>
<p>Greta has encouraged students to skip school to join protests demanding faster action on climate change, a movement that has spread from Sweden to other European nations and around the world.</p>
