"Climate activist Greta Thunberg has said we shouldn’t overestimate "the power
of storytelling" when it comes to tackling the climate crisis when speaking at
the Edinburgh TV Festival.

Thunberg appeared alongside Norwegian writer Jo Nesbo in the online event, and
lamented the “lack of storytelling when it comes to the climate crisis” and
spoke about how humans are social animals and copy a lot of our behaviours from
others.

The 18-year-old activist referenced how quickly people’s behaviours changed
during the coronavirus pandemic, and said this is an example of how quickly
society can adapt to new norms."
