Who is Greta Thunberg? | Newsround

The Swedish teenager first staged a “School Strike for Climate“ in front of the Swedish Parliament in August 2018. Her strike has inspired students from around the world, leading tens of thousands of students from Germany, Japan, the UK, Australia and many more to join her #FridaysforFuture demonstrations.
