What i really like is the consistent message across all of her speeches, which is that she understands the importance of not waiting for political action to fight against the climate crisis. i shouldnt be so surprised that someone so young can radiate such passion for an important cause. I heard about greta thunberg so much towards the end of last year, but i never watched or read any of her speeches. all we have to do is to wake up and change.’Ĭontinuing my tradition of starting off the new year with some words of action and much needed inspiration (see last year). we already have all the facts and solutions. ‘some people say that i should study to become a climate scientist so that i can “solve the climate crisis.” but the climate crisis has already been solved.
Some media have described her impact on the world stage as the Greta Thunberg effect. In May 2019, at the age of 16, she featured on the cover of Time magazine. In March 2019, three members of the Norwegian parliament nominated Thunberg for the Nobel Peace Prize. Thunberg has received various prizes and awards for her activism. A similar event involving students from 125 countries took place on. On 15 March 2019, an estimated 1.4 million students in 112 countries around the world joined her call in striking and protesting. Her personal activism began in August 2018, when her recurring and solitary Skolstrejk för klimatet ("School strike for the climate") protesting outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm began attracting media coverage, even though Sweden has already enacted "the most ambitious climate law in the world" – to be carbon neutral by 2045. She is known for having initiated the school strike for climate movement that formed in November 2018 and surged globally after the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP24) in December the same year.
She has since become an outspoken and world famous climate activist. Greta Thunberg is a Swedish climate activist who, as a schoolgirl at age 15, began protesting outside the Swedish parliament about the need for immediate action to combat climate change.
