“The climate movement does not need any more awards. What we need is for our politicians and the people in power to start to listen to the current, best available science.”
, the 16-year-old climate activist, who was granted the Nordic Council’s 2019 environmental award, explained why she declined to accept the prize. The council awarded Thunberg a sum of 500,000 Swedish krona as a tribute to her work.
Instead, she blasted the Nordic Council for the ironic and hypocritical nature of the award. In her post, Thunberg recited facts about the Nordic region’s huge ecological footprint and lack of constructive change with regards to dramatic environmental degradation. “The climate movement does not need any more awards. What we need is for our politicians and the people in power to start to listen to the current, best available science,” Thunberg wrote in her post.
