A 16-year-old Swedish climate activist has crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a zero-emissions sailboat en route to a conference on global warming.
Greta Thunberg's two-week journey came to a successful end on Wednesday.
The boat she used was powered by solar panels and electricity-producing turbines.
The teen activist is calling on world leaders to take bold action and reverse climate change before it's too late.
She's scheduled to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York next month.
