Swedish climate activist, Greta Thunberg, has refused to accept an environmental award, saying the climate movement needed people in power to start to “listen” to “science” and not awards.
The young climate activist, who has rallied millions to her “Fridays for Future” movement, was honored at a Stockholm ceremony held by the Nordic Council, a regional body for inter-parliamentary cooperation.
She had been nominated for her efforts by both Sweden and Norway and won the organisation’s annual environment prize.
