FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE MOVEMENT

Oct. 31, 2019

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has refused to accept an environmental award saying that the climate movement needed people to start to listen to science and not awards.

About:

The young climate activist, who has rallied millions to her Fridays for Future movement, was honoured at a Stockholm ceremony held by the Nordic Council, a regional body for inter-parliamentary cooperation.
Still only 16 years old, Thunberg rose to prominence after she started spending her Fridays outside Sweden’s parliament in August 2018, holding a sign reading “School strike for climate”.
