Innledning
Greta Thunberg is a Swedish student and climate activist based in Stockholm. She is the daughter of actor and author Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman.
Greta is known for her climate engagement. In particular, one action. Every Friday she school-strikes for the climate in front of the Swedish “Riksdagshuset” (parliament) with a poster that says: “skolestreik för klimaet”
The Swedish girl has been cheered on, but also criticized. As well as her big involvement in the climate crisis, she is diagnosed with Asperger’s. In an interview with VG, Greta thanks her diagnosis because it has led her to see the world in a different perspective.
She is happy that she isn’t involved in the social game everyone is infatuated with.
Greta presented the speech, “Our house is on fire,” at the World Economic Forum, 2019 in Davos.
