Greta Thunberg says the world needs to learn the lessons of coronavirus and treat climate change with similar urgency.
That means the world acting "with necessary force", the Swedish climate activist says in an exclusive interview with BBC News.
She doesn't think any "green recovery plan" will solve the crisis alone.
And she says the world is now passing a "social tipping point" on climate and issues such as Black Lives Matter.
"People are starting to realise that we cannot keep looking away from these things", says Ms Thunberg, "we cannot keep sweeping these injustices under the carpet".
She says lockdown has given her time to relax and reflect away from the public gaze.
The teenager believes the only way to avoid a climate crisis is to tear up contracts and abandon existing deals and agreements that companies and countries have signed up to.
"The climate and ecological crisis cannot be solved within today's political and economic systems", the Swedish climate activist argues. "That isn't an opinion. That's a fact."
She is shocked by the carbon-intensive lifestyles she saw in the US. "Apart from a few wind power plants and solar panels," she says, "there are no signs whatsoever of any sustainable transition, despite this being the richest country in the world."
Yet Greta Thunberg says she has been inspired by the way people have been responding to these injustices, particularly the Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd in May.

Greta, your 15 minutes are up.
Maybe Greta will tell us how to cure the China virus now.
Cindy Sheehan comes to mind.
Surely she is touched by the gods. How else could a child be filled with such wisdom?
Greta is a portal through which Gaia speaks to us. This Oracle for our age must be enthroned in a majestic wondrous temple from which to utter her deep truths.
When will we ever learn to hear the miraculous understanding of this magnificent child? She has warned us: “HOW DARE WE” refuse to obey! Listen, the earth speaks.
It’s amazing how these egomaniacs just cant stand not having their face/name in the news. Fauci is beside himself now that he has finally been discovered to be a windbag. Now we have to see Angry Girl again. I so dont miss watching the news anymore. I took Rush’s advice and have turned it all off. Really havent watched news for about a month. I get my news here and from OAN.
four “journos” to write this drivel. of course, the police were on the side of the “climate” protesters:
20 Jun: The Age, Australia: Cops ‘pleased’ as climate protesters avoid hefty coronavirus fines
By Simone Fox Koob and David Estcourt; With Michael Fowler, Rachel Eddie
Stopping traffic in short bursts and gathered in groups of no more than 20, the “socially distanced” climate change rally saw just a few of fines handed out to CBD demonstrators on Saturday.
With the number of coronavirus cases ***surging in Victoria, organisers kept their distance with police saying they were “generally pleased with the behaviour of most of the attendees”.
Even before the latest figures showed another spike in coronavirus cases, experts were worried the state could be at the “tipping point” of a second wave of infections...
In total three demonstrators were arrested, quickly released and fined $330 each for failing to obey traffic directions given by a police officer...

***Australia has had a mere 102 covid deaths, the number hasn’t increased in weeks. yet we have multiple States & Territoris still refusing to open their borders to the rest of Australia! why is Australia following exactly the same lockdown script as countries with tens of thousands of deaths?

Greta who? Your 10 minutes are up sweetheart. I suggest you start looking for a real job.
Please pay attention to me! Waaaaaaa!
Dear Sweet Greta,
You are much smarter than the rest of us. I will just bet you even burped yourself and changed your own diapers. Well darling, it's time to change that diaper again. You're starting to stink. You know, really, really stink.
Me, me, me. What about me?
Me, me, me. What about me?
She is stuck on stupid, literally.
“Greta who? Your 10 minutes are up sweetheart. I suggest you start looking for a real job”
This special needs child still has two if not three years of high school left. After that she will be on the Soros payroll for life.
That’s enough little girl! Go stand in the corner until you grow up, get a job, have a family, pay the bills (including taxes), learn the value of oil, etc, etc...
