It was in August 2018 that Greta Thunberg began to strike for the climate outside Sweden's parliament. The aim of the strike is to draw politicians' attention to the climate crisis.
During the past year, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist has taken the strike far beyond Sweden's borders. She has also participated in the UN Climate Summit.
In a post on social media on New Year's Eve, Thunberg now thanks for all the support:
“What year ... I shouldn't even try to summarize it - that would be impossible. But absolutely nothing would have been possible without your support. So thank you so much everyone! ”
"We must do the impossible"“In the coming decade, humanity will decide its future. Let's do it the best we can. We must do the impossible, "writes Thunberg in his New Year's post.
She ends by wishing a happy New Year.
