Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg named Time magazine’s Person of the Year The United Nations Secretary-General has congratulated Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg after she was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019.

The outspoken 16-year old, who earlier this year lectured world leaders at the UN over their lack of urgency about the warming planet was lauded by Time for “becoming the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement.

Now one of the world’s most recognizable climate activists, with Time celebrating the power of youth with this recognition. From protesting alone outside the Swedish Parliament during school hours on Fridays, she sparked a global movement that has blossomed into the Fridays For Future strike that has galvanized students to raise their voices on behalf of the planet. Greta’s currently in Madrid, Spain for the COP 25 Climate Conference.
