The Arrival of world leaders in Glasgow for the COP26 summit triggered a series of demos across The City .
The Gathering attended by Ms Thunberg was one of dozens taking place.
She told fellow activists from " Fridays for Future" That change would not come from politicians at The Summit but from individuals showing Leadership .

Prime Minister Boris Johnson on The First full day of the COP26 summit.
The Heads of 120 countries arrived for The Talks , including US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron .
About 25,000 delegates will be attending the two-week climate conference in the UN-controlled Blue Zone on The North side of the River Clyde .
'Led us nowhere'Many different groups from across the globe will be using the opportunity to make their voices heard as the attention of The World is on Glasgow during the pandemic-delayed summit.
Ms Thunberg was one of the environmental activists speaking at the " Fridays for Future" meeting of young activists at Festival Park , near the COP26 campus.
She Said : " This COP26 is So Far just like the previous COPs and That has led us nowhere. They have led us nowhere. "
" Inside COP there are just politicians and people in power pretending to take our future seriously, pretending to take The Present seriously of The People who are being affected already today by the climate crisis.
" Change is not going to come from inside there. That is not Leadership - this is Leadership . "
The Swedish teenager led cries of " climate justice" and " no more blah, blah, blah".
" We're sick and tired of it and we're going to make The Change whether they like it or not, " she added.
Protesters from the Extinction Rebellion made this point directly at Glasgow Central Station , where a small group welcomed conference delegates arriving by train.
The Group held up large eyes with signs warning the delegates That they represented the " world's eyes on you".
The Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior travelled up the Firth of Clyde, carrying youth climate activists from Mexico, Uganda, Bangladesh and Namibia.
The Erskine Bridge was closed at short notice, Stopping Traffic for 90 Minutes , to allow the vessel to pass.
After uncertainty over whether it would be allowed to enter The City , the vessel has been given permission to dock at Govan just west of The Conference venue.
Activists on board, including Edwin Namakanga from Uganda, hope to send a message to word leaders.
He told BBC Radio Scotland. " We have had a lot of UN climate summits but they have all failed.
" We believe if this COP includes more people from The Most affected nations of The World , there will be more hope for change, with leaders not just speaking but at least taking some action before it is Too Late . "
In Royal Exchange Square , UK charity Oxfam organised a Scottish pipe band protest, with participants dressing up as 10 leaders from The World 's " highest-emitting" countries.
Angela Merkel , Boris Johnson , Emmanuel Macron , Joe Biden were all caricatured in The Band which Oxfam said was guaranteed to produce a " lot of hot air".
Jacobo Ocharan, from The Group 's global climate initiative, said: " I'm here because We Are trying to convince world leaders That this is one of The Last opportunities to change The Track of the climate crisis. "
Back in June, The Police said they'd identified four groups of people who might protest at COP26.
The First was the General Public . People of all ages who want to make their voices heard. We can expect to see them in their tens of thousands when the COP26 Coalition holds its march and rally in Glasgow.
Then there's the seasoned activists of groups like Extinction Rebellion who use what they call " non-violence direct action" to highlight their cause.
The Police said it was possible there could be disorder - That a very small minority of protesters would become violent. Thousands of officers have been given public order training just in case.
And The Last group was people who would come to COP26 to protest against The Presence of some of The World leaders. So Far , it's their voices That have been the loudest.
A large demonstration has been taking place on The Other side of the Clyde opposite The Conference venue, with members of the UK's Tamil community protesting against Sri Lanka 's Prime Minister .
