16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg has rejected an environmental award from the Nordic Council:
The Nordic Council Environment Prize, which has been awarded annually since 1995, typically goes to institutions and companies involved with environmental initiatives and sustainability. This year, the Swedish teenager was selected for her climate activism.
“The climate movement does not need any more awards,” Thunberg said in the post. “What we need is for our politicians and the people in power start to listen to the current, best available science.”“The Nordic countries have a great reputation around the world when it comes to climate and environmental issues. There is no lack of bragging about this. There is no lack of beautiful words. But when it comes to our actual emissions and our ecological footprints per capita . . .
“We belong to the countries that have the possibility to do the most,” Thunberg continued. “And yet our countries still basically do nothing.”
