India opener Rohit Sharma on Tuesday called young climate activist Greta Thunberg inspiring, after the Swede slammed the world leaders at the UN Climate Action Summit.
Sixteen-year-old Thunberg, while addressing the UN Summit in New York on Monday, accused world leaders of betraying her generation by failing to tackle greenhouse gas emissions.
Sharma took to Twitter to urging world leaders to take some action.
"Leaving the saving of our planet to our children is utterly unfair. @GretaThunberg, you're an inspiration. There are no excuses now. We owe the future generations a safe planet. The time for change is now," Sharma tweeted.
The Swedish teen has become the global face of the growing youth movement against climate inaction.
Thunberg led a global movement that saw millions of students from across the world take off from school to go on strike for action on climate change.
