Greta Thunberg is a Swedish climate activist born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. She gained international recognition starting in 2018 when she began organizing school strikes for climate action outside the Swedish Parliament. This sparked the global Fridays For Future movement, engaging millions of young people worldwide in climate protests. Greta was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, which she refers to as her “superpower,” and she has used her platform to advocate for environmental responsibility and urgent climate solutions, including strong adherence to the Paris Agreement. She has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize multiple times. Greta was raised in an artistic family; her mother is an opera singer and her father an actor. She has also influenced her family to adopt sustainable practices like veganism and refraining from flying. As of recent information in 2025, Greta lives in a collective villa in Stockholm with friends and her two dogs, continuing her activism and education in global development. She also experienced a notable incident involving detention in Israel linked to her political activism. Greta's work remains influential in shaping global climate discourse and inspiring youth engagement worldwide.
