Analysis

I don’t want to be part of a system that is destroying the planet and our future.” The quote appears verbatim in the article and matches the statement presented. No evidence contradicts this attribution.
Background
The interview was conducted after Thunberg’s rise to global prominence following her school strikes for climate. In the conversation she expressed frustration with political and corporate systems she believes are failing to address climate change, emphasizing personal disinterest in being part of such a system. The reference to “the party” was metaphorical, referring to the political establishment and climate summits.
