37:51Now PlayingClimate activist Greta Thunberg arrived on Tuesday by catamaran in the port of Lisbon after a three-week voyage across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States.
The Swedish teen sailed to the Portuguese capital before heading to neighboring Spain to attend the UN Climate Change Conference taking place in Madrid.
Her arrival coincided with a new scientific report saying there is mounting evidence that the world is getting ever hotter.
Thunberg hitched a renewable-energy ride from the United States, joining an Australian family on their 48-foot (15-metre) yacht.
The white catamaran carrying Thunberg sailed slowly up the River Tagus under blue skies and a stiff breeze.
Thunberg's father, Svante, was also on the boat as it approached the Lisbon quayside.
Thunberg was due to be met in Lisbon by local dignitaries and other activists. Her representatives said they could not confirm when she would travel onward to the Spanish capital, 600 kilometres (370 miles) to the east.
She wanted a low-carbon form of transport to get to the climate meeting, which was switched at short notice to Spain from Chile due to unrest there.
The yacht, named La Vagabonde, leaves little or no carbon footprint when its sails are up, using solar panels and hydro-generators for electricity.
