Greta Thunberg[a] (born 3 January 2003) is a Swedish climate activist and iconic source of inspiration for worldwide student activism.[1][2][3][4] 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. 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.[5] On 15 March 2019, an estimated 1.4 million students in 112 countries around the world joined her call in the striking and protesting.[3] Another event is scheduled for 24 May 2019.[6]

Thunberg has received various prizes and awards for her activism. In March 2019, three members of the Norwegian parliament nominated Thunberg for the Nobel Peace Prize.[7]

Life

Greta Thunberg was born on 3 January 2003.[8] Her mother is Swedish opera singer Malena Ernman and her father is actor Svante Thunberg.[9] Her grandfather is actor and director Olof Thunberg.[10]

At a TEDx talk in November 2018, Thunberg said she first heard about climate change at the age of eight, but could not understand why so little was being done about it.[11] At age 11, she became depressed and stopped talking. Later on she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism. She added that selective mutism meant she was speaking only when she needed to and that "now is one of those moments"; and that being on the "spectrum" was an advantage "as almost everything is black or white".[11]

Thunberg has said: "I feel like I am dying inside if I don't protest". Her father doesn't like her cutting class but says: "[We] respect that she wants to make a stand. She can either sit at home and be really unhappy, or protest, [skip school] and be happy".[12] To lower her family's carbon footprint, she insisted they become vegan and give up flying,[13] as she did herself.[14]

School strike for climate

On 20 August 2018, Thunberg, who had just started ninth grade, decided to not attend school until the 2018 Sweden general election on 9 September after heat waves and wildfires in Sweden.[15] Her demands were that the Swedish government reduce carbon emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement, and she protested by sitting outside the Riksdag every day during school hours with the sign Skolstrejk för klimatet (school strike for the climate).[16] After the general elections, she continued to strike only on Fridays, gaining worldwide attention. She inspired school students across the globe to take part in student strikes.[17] As of December 2018, more than 20,000 students had held strikes in at least 270 cities.[17] Thunberg credits the teen activists at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, who organized the March For Our Lives, as the inspiration to begin her school climate strike.[18][19]

In her personal manifesto, Thunberg says she is not a climate scientist herself: She is merely a messenger who is repeating what scientists have been communicating to the public for decades, so far without much success. She says students would no longer have to leave school to protest if the public only started listening to scientists, but that the current political situation does not work this way.[20]

From October 2018 onwards, Thunberg's activism evolved from solitary protesting to taking part in demonstrations throughout Europe; making several high profile public speeches; and mobilising her growing number of followers on social media platforms. However, by March 2019 she still stages her regular protests outside the Swedish parliament every Friday, where other students now occasionally join her. Her activism has not interfered with her schoolwork, but she has had less spare time.[2]

UN General Secretary António Guterres has endorsed the school strikes initiated by Thunberg, admitting that "My generation has failed to respond properly to the dramatic challenge of climate change. This is deeply felt by young people. No wonder they are angry."[21]

Subsequent speeches

Greta Thunberg at the European Parliament in April 2019

Public demonstrations

Greta Thunberg participated in the Rise for Climate demonstration outside the European Parliament in Brussels. In London in October 2018, she addressed the 'Declaration of Rebellion' organized by Extinction Rebellion opposite the Houses of Parliament. She said: "We're facing an immediate unprecedented crisis that has never been treated as a crisis and our leaders are all acting like children. We need to wake up and change everything".[22][23]

TEDxStockholm

On 24 November 2018, she spoke at TEDxStockholm.[24][25][11] She spoke about realising, when she was eight years old, that climate change existed and wondering why it was not headline news on every channel, as if there was a world war going on. She said she did not go to school to become a climate scientist, as some suggested, because the science was done and only denial, ignorance and inaction remained. Speculating that her children and grandchildren would ask her why they had not taken action in 2018 when there was still time, she concluded with "we can’t change the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed."[26]

COP24 summit

Thunberg addressed the COP24 United Nations climate change summit on 4 December 2018[17] and also spoke before the plenary assembly on 12 December 2018.[27][28] During the summit, she also participated in a panel talk together with representatives of the We Don't Have Time Foundation, in which she talked about how the school strike began.[29]

Davos

On 23 January 2019, Thunberg arrived in Davos after a 32-hour train journey,[30] in contrast to the many delegates who arrived by up to 1500 individual private jet flights,[31] to continue her climate campaign at the World Economic Forum.[32][33] She told a Davos panel "Some people, some companies, some decision makers in particular have known exactly what priceless values they have been sacrificing to continue making unimaginable amounts of money. I think many of you here today belong to that group of people."[34]

Later in the week, she warned the global leaders that "I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house was on fire – because it is".[35] She wrote in an article for The Guardian in January 2019: "According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), we are less than 12 years away from not being able to undo our mistakes. In that time, unprecedented changes in all aspects of society need to have taken place, including a reduction of our CO2 emissions by at least 50%". [36]

European Economic & Social Committee

On 21 February 2019, she spoke at a conference of the European Economic and Social Committee and to European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, where she said that to limit global warming to less than the two degrees C goal established at the Paris climate accord, the EU must reduce their CO2 emissions by 80% by 2030, double the 40% goal set in Paris. "If we fail to do so" she said, "all that will remain of our political leaders' legacy will be the greatest failure of human history." Later, she joined 7,500 Belgian student in a climate protest in Brussels.[37][38]

Berlin

In the weekend 29-31 March, Thunberg visited Berlin. She spoke in front of some 25,000 people near the Brandenburg Gate on Friday, where she argued that "We live in a strange world where children must sacrifice their own education in order to protest against the destruction of their future. Where the people who have contributed the least to this crisis are the ones who are going to be affected the most."[39] After the speech, Thunberg and fellow climate activist Luisa Neubauer visited the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and met with scientists there. On Saturday, Thunberg received the 'Golden Camera' Special Award on Germany's annual film and television award show. In her acceptance speech at the gala, Thunberg urged celebrities everywhere to use their influence and do their fair share of climate activism to help her.[40][4][41]

EU leaders

At an April 2019 meeting at the European Parliament in Strasbourg with MEP's and EU officials, she chided those present "for three emergency Brexit summits and no emergency summit regarding the breakdown of the climate and the environment". Climate change discussions have not been dominant at EU summits because other issues have taken precedence.[42] She continued: "The extinction rate is up to 10,000 times faster than what is considered normal, with up to 200 species becoming extinct every single day". In addition, the "[e]rosion of fertile topsoil, deforestation of the rainforest, toxic air pollution, loss of insects and wildlife, acidification of our oceans ... are all disastrous trends." Thunberg was given a 30-second standing ovation at the end of her speech.[42]

Prizes and awards

Greta Thunberg was one of the winners of Svenska Dagbladet's debate article writing competition on the climate for young people in May 2018.[43] Thunberg was nominated for the electricity company Telge Energi's prize for children and young people who promote sustainable development, Children's Climate Prize, but declined because the finalists would have to fly to Stockholm.[44] In November 2018, she was awarded the Fryshuset scholarship of the Young Role Model of the Year.[45] In December 2018, Time magazine named Thunberg one of the world's 25 most influential teenagers of 2018.[46]

On the occasion of the International Women's Day Thunberg was proclaimed the most important woman of the year in Sweden in 2019. The award was based on a survey by the institute Inizio on behalf of the newspaper Aftonbladet.[47] On 31 March 2019, she received the German Goldene Kamera Special Climate Protection award.[48][49] On 2 April 2019, the Prix Liberté from Normandie, France.[50] On 12 April 2019 she shared the Fritt Ords Prize from Norway with the Natur og Ungdom organization.[51] This prize is awarded for freedom of expression.

On 13 March 2019, three members of the Norwegian parliament nominated Thunberg as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize later this year. The nominating politicians motivated their decision by arguing that global warming will be the cause of "wars, conflict and refugees" if nothing is done to halt it. Thunberg responded that she was "honoured and very grateful" for the nomination.[7] If Thunberg receives the Prize later this year, she will become the youngest person ever to receive it.[52]

In April 2019, Time magazine named Greta Thunberg as one of the 100 most influential people of 2019.[53] In the same month, the Chilean-based organization Fundación Milarepa para el Diálogo con Asia, headed by Mario Aguilar of the University of St Andrews, announced that Thunberg had been selected as the recipient of the organization's Laudato Si' Award.[54]

Controversy

After her student climate strikes gained momentum, attempts were made to discredit her by climate change deniers.[55][56] Others have tried to benefit from her high profile.[57] In late 2018, Ingmar Rentzhog, founder of the non-profit We Don't Have Time Foundation (WDHT), recruited Thunberg to become an unpaid youth advisor and used Thunberg's name and image without her knowledge or permission to raise millions for WDHT's for-profit subsidiary We Don't Have Time AB, of which Rentzhog is CEO. Thunberg received no money from the company.[58][59] She terminated her volunteer advisor role with WDHT, stating she "is not part of any organization… am absolutely independent… [and] do what I do completely for free."[60]

Writing in The Guardian, Aditya Chakrabortty notes that eco-denialists have begun resorting to "ugly personal attacks" on Thunberg.[61] Writing for Quillette magazine, Swedish journalist Paulina Neuding [sv] questioned whether the fame and attention that Thunberg has received puts excessive pressure on her. Neuding wondered if this could be a problem considering her multiple mental diagnoses by claiming that "a school strike... constitutes a form of self-harm, undertaken to attract adult attention... Given what we know about Greta’s problems and challenges, is this (attention) an appropriate adult response to Greta’s school strike?"[62] Writing for The Spectator, Helen Dale, who also writes for Quillete, posted a tweet calling for “this Greta Thunberg character” to “have a meltdown on national telly” and claimed that children "cannot ‘lead’ us".[63]

In response, Chris Packham, the Springwatch presenter who also has Asperger's says "People like me with Asperger's syndrome are not affected by this sort of thing. It doesn't weaken our resolve. We've seen it this week with the trolling of Greta. It's a complete waste of time."[64] In an article headlined Why They're Really Scared Of Greta Thunberg, Huffington Post argues that Thunberg "frighten(s) the life out of a particular middle-aged and middle-class establishment type of person... and that the reaction to her is driven by the fear of knowing that losing their place to her and those like her (in political conversation) is inevitable."[65]
