Greta Thunberg and “Fridays for Future” – a growing student movement
The worldwide “Fridays for Future” movement is piling the pressure on politicians. In Europe in particular, the influence of the campaign launched by 16-year-old Greta Thunberg is growing. The young activists are angry at what they see as their elders’ failure to protect the environment and are seeking new forms of protest in their fight for immediate action to prevent further global warming and climate change. In the last six months, Famke from Germany, Lena from Switzerland and Antoni from Poland have taken part in the school strike for the climate every Friday.
