About Greta Thunberg
In late 2025, Greta Thunberg was active in multiple international campaigns. On December 4, she delivered the Right Livelihood Award acceptance speech on behalf of Justice For Myanmar, calling on governments to reject the military junta's upcoming "sham election" and to stop the flow of funds, arms, and fuel to the junta. She described the military's actions since the 2021 coup as a "campaign of terror" involving mass killings, torture, and sexual violence, and stated that the same perpetrators were responsible for genocide against the Rohingya. She also expressed solidarity with oppressed people "from Palestine to Ukraine, from East Turkistan to Sudan." Thunberg participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Italy in late November, where she referred to the Italian government as "fascist" and said Italy was "one of the most complicit countries in this genocide" regarding its support for Israel. At a rally in Genoa, she argued that the goal of Israel was "to cleanse Palestine of the Palestinians" and called for "an end of the genocide and accountability for it." She also spoke at the University of Verona, criticizing the institution for attempting to "silence political messages." Earlier in the month, she commented on COP30, describing it as "déjà vu with extra air conditioning" and calling Donald Trump "the biggest threat to climate change."
