Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old environmental activist has been in the news lately for taking a stern stand and asking the children of the world to fight for a clean and livable environment.
Thunberg’s perspective to stand up for the environment has finally come into action and the youth have organised a global strike today. Over 150 countries so far have joined this global climate strike to pressurize world leaders to take some concrete action against climate change.
