Following a four-month round-the-world tour, Greta Thunberg is back in Sweden and headed straight to parliament to resume her climate change protest.
The Fridays for Future rallies that the 16-year-old started in August 2018 was what catapulted her to international fame.
She has been invited to speak at parliaments worldwide as well as her well-known UN speech and she even became Time’s Person of the Year.

Thunberg shared an Instagram photo that showed her holding the now-famous “school strike for climate” banner, captioning it with: “School strike week 70. Stockholm!”
She has been going around several countries for the past four months but hasn’t used planes due to their environmental impact. She traveled from the UK to America, visiting cities in the US and Canada before returning to Portugal earlier in the month.
She traveled by train to a climate summit in Spain then went to Turin and Basel before ultimately ending up in Sweden again.
One of the first things she did upon returning was to pose with pet dogs, Moses and Roxy.
Her last climate protest in Turin, Italy, saw her threatening to “put world leaders against the wall” should they continue to run away from their climate obligations. She did apologize for her outburst following the Madrid summit and claimed that the Swedish phrase was lost in translation.
“Yesterday I said we must hold our leaders accountable and unfortunately said ‘put them against the wall.’ That’s Swenglish: ‘att ställa någon mot väggen’ (to put someone against the wall) means to hold someone accountable. That’s what happens when you improvise speeches in a second language,” she wrote.
“But of course I apologize if anyone misunderstood this. I can not enough express the fact that I – as well as the entire school strike movement – are against any possible form of violence. It goes without saying but I say it anyway.”
Prior to that, she just came from another high-profile Twitter brouhaha when she was named Time’s Person of the Year. Trump had tweeted that she had “anger management problems” and that she should “chill.”
In response, Thunberg changed her Twitter bio to display her status as “currently chilling.”
