BRASILIA/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The U.S. struggle for racial justice after the police killing of George Floyd is part of the fight against climate change and for social justice that unites us all, teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg said on Friday.

"We need to stand united and remember that the fight for social justice, environmental justice, racial justice and climate justice is the same fight," Thunberg said, when asked by reporters about any connection between her school strike movement and U.S. protests against racism.
