Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg is an internationally recognized climate activist. She inspires global conversations and action on climate change, advocating for policy shifts and personal responsibility, making her a compelling voice for environmental initiatives. After initiating a solo school strike outside the Swedish parliament in August 2018, holding a sign stating ‘Skolstrejk för klimatet’ (School Strike for Climate), Greta Thunberg rapidly became an internationally recognized climate activist. This solitary act, following a summer of heatwaves and wildfires, inspired the global ‘Fridays for Future’ movement, mobilizing students worldwide to strike for climate action.

She was fined by a Swedish court in July 2023 and arrested at a London protest in October, later acquitted. After high school graduation in June 2023, Thunberg began a bachelor’s program at Stockholm University. In November 2024, Thunberg boycotted COP29 in Azerbaijan, opting instead to visit Georgia and Armenia. Her activism extended to pro-Palestinian protests, leading to detentions in Copenhagen (September 2024) and at Stockholm University (September 2024).

In 2025, she participated in Budapest Pride (June) and joined protests in North Macedonia and Serbia (July). Further demonstrating her commitment, she was twice detained and deported from Israel after joining Gaza Freedom Flotillas in June and October 2025. Thunberg remains a compelling global voice, continuously inspiring action on climate change and human rights.
