Greta Thunberg is a Swedish student who is credited with raising global awareness of the problems posed by climate change, and withholding politicians to account for their lack of action on what Thunberg calls the climate crisis.
Greta Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. She holds Swedish nationality and belongs to white ethnicity. She was born to a father named Svante Thunberg and a mother named Malena Ernman. Her father is an actor and her mother is an opera singer. Her grandfather is actor and director Olof Thunberg. She has a sister named Beata Thunberg.
Greta Thunberg took time off school to demonstrate outside the Swedish parliament holding up a sign calling for bold climate action. Her school strike for the climate began attracting media attention and other students then engaged in a similar protest in their own communities. Together they organized a school climate strike movement, under the name Fridays for Future. After she addressed the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference, student strikes took place every week somewhere in the world. In 2019, there were at least two coordinated multi-city protests involving over one million pupils each. She is known for her blunt, matter of fact speaking manner, both in public and to political leaders and assemblies, in which she urges immediate action to address what she describes as the climate crisis. At home, she persuaded her parents to adopt several lifestyle choices to reduce their own carbon footprint, including giving up air travel and not eating meat.
She was nominated for the Children's Climate Prize, which is awarded by the Swedish electricity company Telge Energi in 2018. She was awarded the Fryshuset scholarship of the Young Role Model of the year and Time Magazine named her one of the world's 25 most influential teenagers of 2018. She received the German Goldene Kamera Special Climate Protection award. On March 12, 2019, two deputies of the Swedish parliament and three deputies of the Norwegian parliament nominated Thunberg as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2019, she was featured on the cover of Time magazine, which named her a next-generation leader and noted that many see her as a role model. On June 7, Amnesty International gave her their most prestigious award, the Ambassador of Conscience Award, for her leadership in the climate movement. On July 12, she was awarded the Geddes Environment Medal by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, which automatically granted her its Honorary Fellowship.
