With her school strikes she started a youth movement that is active worldwide.
Now Greta dares to take a special step - and not alone.
Stockholm - finish school, come of age, find a job, move out: this or something like that is how you imagine your young adult years as a teenager.
With Greta Thunberg things went a little differently.
Now the 18-year-old is making up for one of these steps: She moved from her parents' house to a Stockholm apartment.
But the environmental activist
does not live alone,
according to an
interview published
by
ntv
.
Her two dogs, the Labrador Roxy and the Golden Retriever Moses, are always there.
The two animal companions have been close to the climate activist for a long time, as mother Malena Ernman explains: “They were there when she was particularly bad.
You give her security. "
Greta Thunberg is moving - and has two special roommates
It is precisely this security that young adults need because they have Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.
She is happy in her new apartment, "and luckily I live in Sweden, where people are not so interested in celebrities," Thunberg explains in the interview.
In addition, her father Svante, mother Malena and little sister Beata come to visit as often as possible.
Greta has also started school again, which means that she is now already in her second year attending a secondary school in Stockholm that specializes in sustainability.
The 18-year-old gets the school and her Fridays For Future tasks under one roof: “I try to be efficient: I do all my homework at school so that when I get home I have time for other things . "
Greta Thunberg leaves the nest: where is the 18-year-old going next?
However, her new apartment including animal companions was not the reason for the interview.
The main reason was the upcoming world climate conference in Glasgow, UK.
Thunberg assumes many promises and little real willingness to change.
A small hope remains: "Maybe there are leaders who are honest, who make the urgency clear and who wake people up."
It was not until the flood disaster in the middle of the year that it was shown again how badly the effects of climate change can and will also affect Germany.
Climate protection also played a role in almost every party program in the federal election.
The current exploratory talks between the SPD, FDP and the Greens are already setting the course for the final implementation of these goals.
