One of the most talked about names of the past year, 17-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg continues to be on the agenda with her actions and statements. Thunberg, who shared a post on his personal Instagram account, said there were people who were marketing, selling products and collecting money for himself and his movement. The Swedish climate activist, who complained that he was the one who communicated with senior people, politicians, the press and artists, claiming that he represented him, declared that his name and the ‘Fridays for the Future’ movement he established filed for patent. “I guarantee you, I or other people involved in the movement have no desire to brand. However, unfortunately we have to comply with this,” Thunberg said that they have set up a foundation with their family to deal more financially and transparently with the financial aspect of the ‘Friday for the Future’ movement. Underlining that the foundation in question is not for profit, Thunberg said that their aim is to support ecological, climatic and social sustainability and mental health.
A post shared by Greta Thunberg (@gretathunberg) on Jan 29, 2020 at 7:33am PST Thunberg, who refused to go to school on Fridays to protest the Swedish government’s policies on climate change in 2018, made his name heard in front of the Swedish parliament. The 17-year-old activist, who made a great impact in a short time, became one of the symbol names of the fight against climate change. Thunberg, which made its name heard all over the world thanks to the impressive speech it gave at the United Nations Climate Summit held in New York in September of last year, also marked social media with a look at US President Donald Trump. The Swedish young environmental activist was named ‘Person of the Year’ by TIME magazine in 2019.
