Greta Thunberg is a Swedish climate activist who gained international recognition for her efforts to address climate change. Early Life and Awareness: Born in 2003, she learned about climate change around age eight and became deeply concerned by the lack of action to address it. Fridays for Future: In 2018, at age 15, she initiated the "School Strike for Climate" (also known as "Fridays for Future") by protesting outside the Swedish parliament, demanding stronger action on climate change. This action inspired a global youth movement. Global Impact: Her activism and powerful speeches at international forums, including the United Nations, have raised global awareness about the urgency of the climate crisis. Direct Action and Civil Disobedience: As an adult, she has continued her activism through peaceful demonstrations and civil disobedience, sometimes leading to arrests. Personal Life: She has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which she views as a "superpower" that aids her focus and determination. Family Influence: Greta's parents, opera singer Malena Ernman and actor Svante Thunberg, have also been vocal about their support for climate action and have adapted their lifestyle to reduce their carbon footprint.
