The climate activist delivered her speech on a day that will see Glastonbury history made as the oldest ever solo headliner takes to the stage.
Greta Thunberg has urged society to take on its"historic responsibility" to tackle the global climate crisis during an appearance at Glastonbury.
Delivering a speech from the festival's Pyramid Stage, the environmental activist gave the crowd a stark warning that the world is facing a"climate and ecological emergency". "The biosphere is not just changing, it is destabilising, it is breaking down," the 19-year-old said, before stressing that the"consequences could be catastrophic"."This crisis will continue to get worse until we manage to hold the constant destruction of our life-supporting systems, until we prioritise people and planet over profit and greed," she added.
"We should be fighting for people and for nature, but instead we are fighting against those who are set on destroying it," she urged.
