Greta Thunberg is the most famous climate change activist in the world by far. She has traveled around the planet trying to raise awareness about the climate change issues that are currently facing all of humanity. She has even been invited to speak at the United Nations. She recently gave a press conference in Stockholm about all of the dangerous climate change problems that the continent of Africa is now facing. She believes that many regions of Africa will suffer dire consequences unless action is taken very soon to fix the various problems that have been created as a direct result of climate change.
Greta Thunberg knows that her global fame gives her a very powerful platform. Every time that she makes a speech, the media covers it and distributes it around the world. She has decided to use her platform to bring attention to the climate change crisis that is currently going on in Africa. She feels that this crisis has been largely ignored by the global media. This is because a large number of the countries that are located in Africa are very poor. Greta does not want these poor countries to be overlooked. Therefore, she is using her fame to shine the spotlight on them. It is her hope that some action will be taken as a result of her efforts.
Another goal that Greta has is to inspire people in Africa to become passionate about the issue of climate change. She hopes that people in Africa will start to follow in her footsteps. She is trying to get people to realize that she cannot do all of the work for them. At some point, they will need to rise up and demand change from their elected officials. They will need to demand changes in legislation to prevent pollution, make recycling mandatory and switch to fuel sources that are more friendly to the environment. These things are just the start of what changes need to be made in Africa.
It remains to be seen if Greta Thunberg’s efforts were all for naught. She has shown that she deeply cares about all regions of this planet. She wants to bring attention to the climate change issues that are seriously impacting every country. She feels that this is the best way for government officials to take notice and make the changes that are needed. She also wants to raise public awareness.
