Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg (Swedish: [ˈɡrêːta ˈtʉ̂ːnbærj]; born January 3, 2003) is a Swedish activist who urges governments to take action on climate change and social issues. In 2018, when she was 15 years old, she began a school strike alone outside the Swedish parliament. This action inspired the global Fridays for Future movement, which encourages students to protest for climate action every Friday.

As the school strike movement grew, Thunberg became a well-known figure worldwide. She gave speeches, joined protests, and participated in climate demonstrations across Europe and other regions. She has spoken to political leaders and taken part in major climate events. Her work has been widely reported in international news, and people have both supported and criticized her efforts. Thunberg has also focused on human rights and global justice, expressing support for Ukraine, Palestine, Armenia, and Cuba. In 2025, she joined a humanitarian flotilla twice to travel toward the Gaza Strip, which received international attention and sparked political debate.

Thunberg is credited with starting the "Greta effect," which increased awareness of environmental issues and youth involvement in activism. Supporters say she helped more people pay attention to climate problems and youth activism. Critics have questioned her statements, methods, and role in political discussions. Thunberg has stated that her actions are based on scientific research and climate policy goals. She has received many honors, including being named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People and receiving the title Person of the Year in 2019.

Early life

Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. Her parents are Malena Ernman, an opera singer, and Svante Thunberg, an actor. Her paternal grandfather was Olof Thunberg, an actor and director. According to The Week, Greta’s name is unusual because her father is a performer and her mother is a singer. Her second name, Tintin, is the same as the character created by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, known as Hergé. Greta has a younger sister named Beata.

Greta first learned about climate change in 2011, when she was eight years old. She felt upset because she believed little was being done to address the issue. At age 11, she stopped speaking most of the time, limited her food intake, and lost 10 kilograms (22 pounds) in two months. She was later diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism. In one of her early speeches, she explained that selective mutism means she only speaks when necessary. She struggled with depression for nearly four years before starting her school strike campaign. At first, her parents did not support her activism. Her father said he did not like her missing school but added, “We respect that she wants to make a stand. She can either sit at home and be really unhappy, or protest and be happy.”

Greta said she was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, OCD, and selective mutism. This means she only speaks when she thinks it is necessary. She shared this information publicly in Sweden in 2015 to help families facing similar challenges. While she admits that Asperger’s has limited her in the past, she sees her diagnosis as a “superpower.” She is now widely known as both a climate change activist and an autism rights advocate. In 2021, she noted that many people in the Fridays for Future movement are autistic and that the group is inclusive and welcoming. She believes that autistic individuals often become climate activists because they feel compelled to speak the truth. She said that joining the movement has helped many people find purpose, friendship, and a sense of belonging. She considers the friendships and happiness she has gained from her activism as the best outcomes of her work.

For about two years, Greta encouraged her parents to reduce their family’s carbon footprint and environmental impact by becoming vegan, reusing items, and avoiding air travel. She showed them graphs and data, but when this did not change their behavior, she warned them that they were harming her future. Giving up air travel meant her mother had to stop traveling internationally for her opera career. In a 2019 interview with the BBC, Greta’s father said, “To be honest, [her mother] didn’t do it to save the climate. She did it to save her child, because she saw how much it meant to her, and then, when she did that, she saw how much [Greta] grew from that, how much energy she got from it.” Greta believes her parents’ eventual support and lifestyle changes gave her hope that she could make a difference. When asked in 2021 if she felt guilty about ending her mother’s international career, Greta said she was surprised by the question: “It was her choice. I didn’t make her do anything. I just provided her with the information to base her decision on.” The family’s story is shared in the 2018 book Scenes from the Heart, updated in 2020 as Our House Is on Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis, with contributions from the family members.

Activism

In August 2018, Greta Thunberg began organizing school climate strikes and giving public speeches. These actions made her a well-known climate activist around the world. During an interview with Amy Goodman from Democracy Now!, Thunberg explained that she got the idea for a climate strike after seeing how students in the United States reacted to school shootings in February 2018. These students, from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, organized the March for Our Lives to support stronger gun control laws. In May 2018, Thunberg won a climate change essay competition held by the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. In her essay, she wrote: "I want to feel safe. How can I feel safe when I know we are in the greatest crisis in human history?"

After her essay was published, Thunberg was contacted by Bo Thorén, a member of a group called Fossil Free Dalsland, which works to address climate change. Thunberg attended some of their meetings. At one meeting, Thorén suggested that students could strike to raise awareness about climate change. Thunberg tried to encourage others to join her, but few were interested. She decided to organize the strike by herself.

On August 20, 2018, Thunberg, who had just started ninth grade, decided not to attend school until the 2018 Swedish general election on September 9. Her protest began after Sweden experienced extreme heat waves and wildfires during its hottest summer in at least 262 years. She demanded that the Swedish government reduce carbon emissions as required by the Paris Agreement. She sat outside the Riksdag (Sweden’s parliament) every day for three weeks during school hours, holding a sign that read "Skolstrejk för klimatet" ("School strike for climate").

Thunberg said her teachers had different opinions about her skipping class. She explained: "As people, they think what I am doing is good, but as teachers, they say I should stop."

After Thunberg shared a photo of her first strike day on Instagram and Twitter, other social media users began supporting her cause. High-profile youth activists shared her post, and more people joined her on the second day. A representative of the Finnish bank Nordea quoted one of Thunberg’s tweets to over 200,000 followers. Local reporters covered her story, and within a week, her actions received international attention.

A Swedish climate-focused company called We Don’t Have Time (WDHT), founded by Ingmar Rentzhog, helped spread awareness of her strike. Rentzhog posted photos and a video of Thunberg online. He later asked her to be an unpaid youth advisor for WDHT. Without her knowledge or permission, he used her name and image to raise money for a company called We Don’t Have Time AB, where he is the chief executive officer. Thunberg said she did not receive money from the company and stopped working with WDHT after learning they were profiting from her name.

Throughout 2018, Thunberg’s activism expanded. She joined demonstrations across Europe, gave public speeches, and used social media to mobilize others. In December 2018, after the Swedish general election, she continued her strikes but only on Fridays. Her actions inspired students worldwide to join her Friday school strikes. In December alone, over 20,000 students participated in strikes in at least 270 cities.

Thunberg spoke out about the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) 2020 and Joint Entrance Examination 2020 in India, which were held in September 2020. She said it was unfair for students to take exams during the global pandemic. She also highlighted the impact of floods in India’s Bihar and Assam states, which caused widespread damage.

On February 3, 2021, Thunberg shared her support for the 2020–2021 Indian farmers’ protests on Twitter. This led to effigies of her being burned in Delhi by some groups. The Indian government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, said the protests were an internal matter. In her initial tweet, Thunberg shared a document with advice on supporting the farmers’ protests, including hashtags and petitions. She later deleted the tweet, saying the document was outdated, and replaced it with new information. Disha Ravi, an Indian climate activist who edited the toolkit, was arrested on February 16, 2021, on charges of sedition and criminal conspiracy.

Thunberg’s speech at the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP24) became widely shared online. She told world leaders they were "not mature enough to tell it like it is." In early 2019, she joined student protests across Europe and spoke at forums and parliaments. At the January 2019 World Economic Forum, she said, "Our house is on fire." She addressed the British, European, and French parliaments, though some right-wing politicians in France refused to attend her speech. Pope Francis met briefly with Thunberg and encouraged her to continue her activism.

By March 2019, Thunberg still held regular protests outside the Swedish parliament every Friday, sometimes with other students. Her father said her activism did not affect her schoolwork, though she had less free time. She graduated from lower secondary school with excellent grades: 14 A’s and three B’s. In July 2019, Time magazine reported that Thunberg was taking a "sabbatical year" from school to travel in the Americas while meeting people from the climate movement before attending the 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25).

In August 2019, Thunberg sailed across the Atlantic Ocean from Plymouth, England, to New York City on a 60-foot (18-meter) racing yacht called Malizia II. The yacht had solar panels and underwater turbines to make the trip carbon-neutral. The journey took 15 days, from August 14 to 28. France 24 reported that some crew members would fly to New York to return the yacht to Europe. Thunberg said she chose sailing to show that there is no real sustainable way to travel across oceans. In the United States, she testified before the US House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis on September 18. Instead of giving a full testimony, she delivered an eight-sentence statement and submitted the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C as evidence.

This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!

Position on climate change

Thunberg says that humanity is facing a crisis that could threaten its survival because of global warming. She believes that baby boomers and each generation after them are responsible for causing and continuing harmful changes to Earth's climate. She uses strong comparisons, like "our house is on fire," to show how serious the problem is. She also speaks directly to business and political leaders about their failure to take strong action.

Thunberg says that climate change will affect young people more than others, and their future may be at risk. She believes that future was sold so that a few people could make huge amounts of money. She also says that people in the Global South, who have contributed the least to carbon emissions, will suffer the most from climate change. Thunberg supports young activists from developing countries who are already dealing with the harmful effects of climate change. In December 2019, she said in Madrid: "We talk about our future, they talk about their present."

Speaking at international forums, she criticizes world leaders because she believes too little action is being taken to reduce global emissions. She says that lowering emissions is not enough, that emissions need to be reduced to zero if the world is to keep global warming to less than 1.5 °C. In April 2019, she told the British Parliament: "The fact that we are speaking of 'lowering' instead of 'stopping' emissions is perhaps the greatest force behind the continuing business as usual." She says politicians should listen to scientists, not her, to address the crisis. According to political scientists Mattia Zulianello and Diego Ceccobelli, Thunberg's ideas can be defined as technocratic ecocentrism, which is grounded on "the exaltation of the vox scientifica."

Thunberg says that commitments made at the Paris Agreement are not enough to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. She says that greenhouse gas emissions must start declining sharply no later than 2020, as detailed in the IPCC's Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C published in 2018. In February 2019, she said at a conference that the EU's goal to cut emissions by 40% by 2030 is "not sufficient to protect the future for children growing up today" and that the EU must reduce emissions by 80%, double the 40% goal.

Thunberg repeated her criticism of political inaction in a November 2020 interview, saying leaders are happy to set long-term goals but avoid taking immediate action. She criticized the European Green Deal, which aims to make the EU carbon neutral by 2050, saying it "sends a strong signal that real and sufficient action is being taken when in fact it's not. Nature doesn't bargain, and you cannot make deals with physics."

In July 2020, Thunberg and other activists wrote an open letter to EU leaders, asking them to make ecocide an international crime at the International Criminal Court. In June 2023, she called the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine by Russia an ecocide and said Russia must be held accountable for its actions.

In an interview before COP26 in 2021, Thunberg said leaders will not take real action, only symbolic steps. She called Chinese president Xi Jinping "a leader of a dictatorship" and said democracy is the only solution to the climate crisis because public pressure is needed to solve it.

In October 2021, she arrived in Glasgow for COP26 and spoke at protests. She called COP26 a failure, using the phrase "blah blah blah" and criticizing "greenwashing." She said the public must "uproot the system" to address the crisis.

Public response and impact

In February 2019, 224 academics signed an open letter supporting Greta Thunberg and the schoolchildren who organized climate strikes. This support from scientists and other experts contrasts with the criticism Thunberg often receives from politicians.

Thunberg has met with many world leaders but said she cannot think of any politician who has impressed her. When asked about New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who called the climate crisis a matter of life or death, Thunberg said, “It’s strange that people think leaders like her are climate leaders. That shows how little people know about the climate crisis.” Thunberg focuses on actions, not words, saying, “Emissions have not decreased. These people are not doing anything.” In 2019, New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions increased by 2%.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres supported Thunberg’s school strikes, saying, “My generation has failed to respond properly to the climate crisis. Young people are angry because of this.” At an event in New Zealand in May 2019, Guterres said his generation is “not winning the battle against climate change” and that youth must “rescue the planet.”

In 2020, U.S. presidential candidates like Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke, and Bernie Sanders supported Thunberg after her speech at a climate summit in New York. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said young activists like Thunberg pushed her government to act faster on climate change.

Thunberg and her campaign have faced criticism from politicians, including personal attacks and claims that she oversimplifies complex issues. These critics include Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin, OPEC, and U.S. President Donald Trump.

In September 2019, Trump shared a video of Thunberg speaking about the climate crisis, along with her quote that “people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.” Trump wrote, “She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!” Thunberg changed her Twitter bio to match Trump’s description and said she could not understand why adults would mock children for speaking about science. In December 2019, Trump again mocked Thunberg after she was named Person of the Year by Time magazine, writing, “So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!” Thunberg updated her bio to, “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.” During the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Thunberg responded to Trump’s tweet “Stop the count!” by writing, “So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!”

In October 2019, Putin called Thunberg a “kind girl and very sincere” but said she was being manipulated. He criticized her as “poorly informed” and claimed people in Africa and Asia want to live as wealthy as in Sweden. Thunberg updated her Twitter bio to reflect Putin’s description. In December 2019, Thunberg tweeted about Indigenous people being killed while trying to protect forests from illegal logging. Two days later, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro called Thunberg “a brat” and said the press gave her too much attention. Thunberg changed her bio to the Portuguese word pirralha, meaning “brat.”

In May 2019, Time magazine reported that Thunberg said it is “hilarious” when critics only mock her or talk about her appearance, as it shows they have no arguments. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden criticized Trump’s mockery of Thunberg after she was named Person of the Year, writing, “What kind of president bullies a teenager? @realDonaldTrump, you could learn a few things from Greta on what it means to be a leader.”

In March 2021, European Commissioner for Climate Action Frans Timmermans said the European Union remains committed to making its agricultural policies support the goals of the European Green Deal.

In August 2019, Scientific American reported that Thunberg’s critics have made personal attacks, criticized her autism, and used insults to weaken her influence. The Guardian noted that columnists and right-wing groups in the UK have made “ugly personal attacks” on Thunberg. British TV presenter Piers Morgan also mocked her. Germany’s right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD) attacked Thunberg in “vicious ways,” according to a researcher.

In 2021, British politician Arron Banks’ comment about a “freak yachting accident” in August, referencing Thunberg, upset many British MPs, celebrities, and academics. Some critics said the attacks on Thunberg are often made by “white middle-aged men from the right of the political spectrum.” The Guardian wrote that Thunberg has become “the new front in the Brexit culture war,” as attacks on her give critics more attention.

In September 2019, Reason magazine said Thunberg’s emotional speeches are “heartfelt” but not helpful for creating good environmental policies. In August 2021, The Atlantic reported that Thunberg has been targeted by far-right groups with “disinformation and conspiracies,” including claims she is a “spoiled child” or a “Nazi.”

The BBC summarized Thunberg’s influence: “She has raised awareness of climate change worldwide, especially among young people. Many call this ‘the Greta effect.’”

In response to her activism, some politicians have acknowledged the need to address climate change. Britain’s environment secretary, Michael Gove, said, “When I listened to you, I felt great admiration, but also responsibility.”

In popular culture and art

Greta Thunberg has appeared in many forms of art and media. A book titled Greta and the Giants, written by Zoë Tucker and Zoe Persico and published by Frances Lincoln Children's Books, was inspired by her life. In San Francisco, Argentinian artist Andrés Iglesias created an 18-meter mural of Thunberg above Mason Street near Union Square. American painter Elizabeth Peyton used her 2019 portrait of Thunberg as the main image in one of her art shows. Thunberg has also been shown in several murals. In Bristol, artist Jody Thomas painted a 15-meter-high mural of Thunberg, where the bottom half of her face appears as if underwater since May 2019. In May 2019, she was on the cover of Time magazine, where she was called a role model and one of the "Next Generation Leaders." She and fifteen others were featured on the cover of British Vogue in September 2019, created by guest editor Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Some of Thunberg's speeches have been used in music. In 2019, she provided a voiceover for a song called "The 1975" by the English band of the same name. She ends the song by saying, "So, everyone out there, it is now time for civil disobedience. It is time to rebel." Money from the song will go to Extinction Rebellion, as requested by Thunberg. In September 2019, John Meredith turned her UN Action Summit speech into a death metal song. Australian musician Megan Washington and composer Robert Davidson used the same "how dare you" speech for a performance about the future of music. DJ Fatboy Slim made a mix of this speech with his song "Right Here, Right Now."

In 2019, Thunberg worked with the climate charity Project Pressure on an art piece shown on the United Nations Secretariat Building in New York before the UN Climate Action Summit. The piece included the voices of six young activists, including Thunberg. Joseph Michael visualized the project, Klaus Thymann wrote the content, and Brian Eno composed the music. Their commentary focused on the climate crisis and the need for urgent action.

In May 2020, Thunberg appeared in Pearl Jam's music video "Retrograde," where she plays a fortune teller with images of climate change effects in her crystal ball. On September 3, 2020, the Hulu documentary I Am Greta premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Directed by Nathan Grossman, the film shows Thunberg's climate activism from her first school strike in August 2018 to her trip to the UN Climate Summit in September 2019. After its Venice premiere, the film showed in Toronto in September 2020 and opened in theaters across Europe, North America, and Australia in October.

In March 2021, the University of Winchester placed a life-sized sculpture of Thunberg on its campus. BBC Studios produced a three-part series titled Greta Thunberg: A Year to Change the World, but some planned visits to countries were not included due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Honours and awards

Greta Thunberg has received many honors and awards because of her work to raise awareness about climate change. Before she started her school strikes in May 2018, she won a climate change essay contest for young people held by Svenska Dagbladet (The Swedish Daily News). She has refused to attend award ceremonies or accept prizes if they require her to fly, such as for the International Children's Peace Prize.
