LISBON: People are failing to grasp the anger of the younger generation in the face of a changing climate, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg said on Tuesday.
"People are underestimating the force of angry kids," Thunberg told a crowd of reporters and supporters. "They're angry and frustrated."
The 16-year-old activist spoke after arriving at a port in Lisbon, where she disembarked after more than two weeks spent crossing the Atlantic in a catamaran.
Thunberg said she would spend a few days in Lisbon before making her way to Madrid, where the COP25 climate summit is currently underway, where she would work to ensure the "voices of future generations" are heard.

Spanish family missing after tourist boat sinks in Indonesia
JAKARTA: A Spanish family of four is missing after a tourist boat sank in Indonesia, state news agency Antara reported Saturday.
The vessel was carrying 11 people when it sank in the Padar Island Strait near the popular destination of Labuan Bajo on Friday night, Antara said.
Seven people including two Spanish tourists, four crew members and a tour guide were rescued.
A search for the remaining four was continuing on Saturday.
The Labuan Bajo port authority attributed the sinking to high waves of up to three meters (10 feet), Antara said.
“This made it difficult for us to carry out the initial search,” port authority chief Stephanus Risdiyanto told the agency.
Padar Island was closed to tourists on Saturday due to extreme weather conditions.
Marine accidents occur regularly in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian archipelago of around 17,000 islands, often due to lax safety standards and bad weather.
