Swedish teen Greta Thunberg held a solo protest outside the Swedish Parliament to claim for policies against climate change when she was only 15 years old. Since then, she became a global phenomenon, speaking at the UN and appearing on the TV news all over the world. Her climate strike inspired thousands of other young people across the world to carry out similar protests.

Mujeres precursoras:

- Rachel Carson, bióloga marina y conservacionista estadounidense, fue una de las primeras voces que en la década de los sesenta contribuye a poner en marcha la moderna conciencia medioambiental. Desde entonces son diversos los movimientos que han surgido para concienciar sobre la necesidad de proteger el medio ambiente.

Contemporáneas: el activismo de Thunberg corre paralelo al de otras activistas por el clima, como Wangari Maathai, Vanessa Nakate o Berta Cáceres.
