Who is Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg, who seems to have understood the importance of climate change at an early age, is a 16-year-old Swedish environmental activist born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, to opera singer Malena Ernman and actor Svante Thunberg. In a very short span, Thunberg became the global face of the growing youth movement against climate inaction.

 

In August 2018, Greta Thunberg started a school strike for the climate outside the Swedish Parliament next to a hand-written sign: "School Strike for Climate". Since then, she has gone global, striking a chord with young people dissatisfied by the slow progress in climate change
