Summer with Greta
Campaigner Greta Thunberg describes the remarkable and tumultuous past year of her life and makes a passionate plea for action on climate change.
Everywhere she goes, people ask for selfies and tell her how wonderful she is. But what鈥檚 it really like to be the world鈥檚 most famous climate campaigner when you鈥檙e still a teenager? In this revelatory personal essay which she wrote for Swedish Radio, Greta Thunberg describes her journey to deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly, observing the effects of climate change first-hand, her encounters with both powerful and ordinary people and a terrifying trip in a yacht across the Atlantic.
This Swedish Radio production is introduced by Justin Rowlatt, the 大象传媒's chief environment correspondent, and Greta's essay is interspersed with excerpts of her favourite music.
