After Thunberg addressed the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference, student strikes took place every week somewhere in the world. Together they organized a school climate strike movement under the name Fridays for Future. Soon other students engaged in similar protests in their own communities. In August 2018, at age 15, she started spending her school days outside the Swedish Parliament to call for stronger action on climate change by holding up a sign reading Skolstrejk för klimatet ( School strike for climate). Thunberg's activism began when she persuaded her parents to adopt lifestyle choices that reduced their own carbon footprint. Thunberg initially gained notice for her youth and her straightforward and blunt speaking manner, both in public and to political leaders and assemblies, in which she criticizes world leaders for their failure to take what she considers sufficient action to address the climate crisis. She speaks fluent English, and most of her public interactions are in English.
Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg ( Swedish: ( listen) born 3 January 2003) is a Swedish environmental activist who is known for challenging world leaders to take immediate action for climate change mitigation.
