Thunberg does not wait long after arrival to criticize the US president
11:24 p.m .: Greta Thunberg wants to keep many appointments during her trip to America. A visit to the US capital Washington DC should also be on her schedule. But she will probably not stop by the US President Donald Trump. After her arrival, Thunberg repeated her position on the President’s anti-climate policy. There is no point trying to convince Trump if he does not want to listen to the findings of science. “If no one managed to convince him, why should I be ready?” Rather, they will concentrate on drawing attention to the urgency of the climate crisis.
Greta Thunberg arrived in New York
10.15 p.m .: Greta Thunberg arrived at her destination New York two weeks after starting her sailing trip across the Atlantic. The 16-year-old walked on Wednesday afternoon (local time) in front of hundreds of onlookers, young activists and media representatives for the first time in her life. In her hand she held her famous protest sign with the inscription “Skolstrejk för klimatet” (school strike for the climate). In Germany it was shortly after 10 p.m. due to the time difference to the moment of their arrival.

How far the racing yacht “Milizia II” with Greta on board is actually still from the coast cannot be said. But one thing is certain: Your journey across the Atlantic will not take too long. The team expects to arrive in the US between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. German time.
Greta Thunberg with “Malizia ll” is less than 100 kilometers away from New York
9.30 a.m .: After two weeks on the Atlantic, the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is about to arrive in New York. On Wednesday morning, the 16-year-old and her team were on the racing yacht “Malizia” less than 100 kilometers as the crow flies from the North Cove Marina in Manhattan.
However, at a distance of 51 nautical miles (94 kilometers) the boat was traveling much slower than before. The team expected an arrival in the afternoon, New York time – in Germany it will be between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
Thunberg himself also seems to be looking forward to the arrival. To a picture of herself in the cramped interior of the ship, she wrote on Tuesday evening (local time) on Twitter: “Home Sweet Home for 14 days. Soon last evening on board the” Malizia 2 “. Tomorrow we will be in New York.”

UN sends 17 sailing boats to receive Greta Thunberg
Wednesday, August 28, 12:35 a.m .: Accordingly, the boats would wait for the racing yacht “Malizia” with Thunberg on board in front of Manhattan near the Verrazano Bridge. This spans the strait between Staten Island and Brooklyn.
The sustainability goals are considered the global resolutions of the United Nations and its member states. In addition to intensifying the fight against climate change, they also mean that no one is allowed to live in poverty or suffer from hunger, that access to education and health is to be improved or that discrimination against women is to be eliminated.
UN draws an interim balance in New York
The goals are to be achieved by 2030. In September the heads of state and government at the UN in New York want to take stock of what has been achieved so far.
After her two-week Atlantic crossing, Thunberg will most likely arrive in New York on Wednesday. The 16-year-old Swede made her way across the Atlantic in Plymouth, southern England, on August 14, because she wants to take part in the UN climate summit in New York in September and the world climate conference in Chile in December. Several major protests and meetings with other activists, decision-makers and those affected by climate change are also planned.
