The story of Greta Thunberg

Who is Greta Thunberg?

Greta Thunberg is a 19-year-old climate activist with the Asperger’s syndrome who is continuing her school strike each and every Friday to ask Sweden’s government and other countries to act against climate change. In her speech at the UN Climate Conference she has pointed out how no adequate solutions have been taken. 

What is Asperger's syndrome?

This is a syndrome that makes it difficult for people to have social interactions (communication with other people) and they are extremely focused on specific topics that are of interest to them.

Greta's message

Greta Thunberg called on students to join an international school strike on 14 December 2018. This is her speech: “My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old. I am from Sweden. I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now. Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn’t matter what we do. But I’ve learned you are never too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to.
