Alan Posener, blogger and commentator for the German newspaper Die Welt. He says: "We need courage, not anxiety, in order to save the climate, democracy, capitalism and the dream of a good life for everyone. Abandoning one of these aims will endanger all of them."
 

Clara Mayer, a high school student and spokesperson for Fridays for Future Berlin: She says: "While a certain fear shows real concern, it is important that this concern is now channeled into action, especially from large corporations and politicians, who hold a great responsibility to pass legislation controlling this crisis."
