Greta Thunberg has become the most recognized activist in the fight against climate change. His actions have sparked a global youth movement to protest what the various world governments are doing, or rather not doing, against global warming. This is why your presence at this year’s COP26 in Glasgow is highly anticipated, but what role will you really play?
The Swedish activist has published on her social networks that she has already arrived in Scotland. He does so after participating last Friday in a demonstration in London called by various environmental organizations to protest against the financing of fossil fuels.

The truth is that his role in the Climate Summit is unclear. She herself acknowledged a few days ago during an interview with the BBC that “it is not clear” that she will participate officially. “I think many people might be scared that if they invite too many young radicals, that could make them look bad,” said the young Swede.
This year the activist will not be in any panel of COP26, unlike the last one held in Madrid in 2019 where she was the protagonist of a harsh speech with which she assured that “her childhood had been annoyed for not being consequential to climate change.” In addition, he starred in a catamaran trip across the Atlantic to reach New York.
What is known is that Greta will participate in a demonstration on November 5 in the Scottish capital.
“Will not bring changes”
Thunberg lamented a few days ago that COP 26 “will not bring great changes” despite being a “crucial” summit for the future of the planet. “In the current situation, this COP will not involve major changes,” the leader of the Fridays for Future movement told AFP.
COP26 and all international meetings “have the potential to change things, as they bring together a lot of people. We must ensure that this opportunity will be seized, “added the young militant. “We will continue to press.”
“My hope is that we finally realize that we are facing an existential crisis and that we must act accordingly,” Thunberg said. According to her, it is necessary “to change the look and stop trying to create niches in the programs, and concentrate on saving the planet and the living conditions of future generations.”
