Greta Thumberg, 16, who is on the front lines of the fight against climate change in Sweden, was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Greta, the girl who skips school to demand that the world take a stand on global warming, has become a leading figure in the fight against climate change and is responsible for the “global strike” of students to demand more concrete action against the phenomenon.
One of the three politicians who launched the initiative, explains why the activist was nominated: “We nominated Greta Thunberg because climate change, if not stopped, will be the main cause of future wars, conflicts and refugee flows. Greta Thunberg has launched a mass movement in what I see as perhaps the main contribution to peace,” Norwegian MP Freddy André Øvstegård told AFP.
