Greta Thunberg

Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg ( ; born 3 January 2003) is a Swedish activist best known for pressuring governments to address climate change and social issues. She gained global attention in 2018, at age 15, after starting a solo school strike outside the Swedish parliament, which inspired the worldwide Fridays for Future movement. She has since broadened her focus to include human rights and global justice, voicing support for Ukraine, Palestine, Armenia, and Western Sahara. In 2025, Thunberg twice joined a humanitarian flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip.

Thunberg has been credited with sparking the "Greta effect", influencing environmental awareness and youth engagement worldwide. She has received numerous honors, including inclusion in ''Time'''s 100 Most Influential People and being named Person of the Year in 2019. Provided by Wikipedia
