Greta Thunberg first heard about global warming when she was 8 years old and she was very troubled by it. She was 15 when she started a school strike.

She has received many awards for her efforts. Greta has an autism spectrum disorder, known as Asperger's syndrome, which she calls her superpower because it helps her strongly focus her attention on climate change.
