Thunberg was nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize after spearheading a global movement demanding world leaders take action over climate change. It led to co-ordinated school strikes across the globe.

The young climate activist has been speaking to world leaders and encouraging others to take part in climate strikes every Friday. She began this trend in Sweden.

She has been a influence to many people and she has spent the last year travelling the world to spread her message.

She is currently somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean on her way to the COP25 global climate conference in Spain, after it was cancelled in Chile amid ongoing anti-government protests.
