GRETA IS BACK

Activist Thunberg joins demo and demands climate action

- DAVID KEYTON

ENVIRONMENTAL activist Greta Thunberg joined fellow demonstrators yesterday in socially distanced global climate protests.

The 17-year-old was pictured in a rally outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm.

And she told reporters: “The main hope is, as always, to try to have an impact on the level of awareness and public opinion so that people will start becoming more aware.”

The coronavirus outbreak has stopped the Fridays for Future movement Thunberg inspired by holding rallies in recent months.

Thunberg started her solo protests outside the Swedish parliament in August 2018.
