She may not have won the Nobel Prize, but Greta Thunberg is back at work continuing to strike for climate change and calling out world leaders.
Key points:
- The Nobel Prize went to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed for his work to bring peace to that region of Africa
- At a climate change rally, she said children must take responsibility because world leaders were not
- Thunberg will continue touring the Americas for several months, concluding with a UN climate conference in Chile in December
The Swedish climate activist joined a climate strike in the US city of Denver where she told the crowd: “We are the change”.
Some believed she was a favourite to win the Nobel Peace Prize, announced on Friday, for her effort to get young people worldwide to fight climate change.
