Greta Thunberg weighs 41 kg.

In August 2018, at the age of 15, Thunberg began spending her Fridays outside the Swedish Parliament, holding a sign that read Skolstrejk för klimatet, calling for stronger climate action. Thunberg first gained attention for her youth and her direct and blunt speaking style, both in public and to political leaders and assemblies, in which Thunberg criticizes world leaders for failing to take sufficient action to address the climate crisis.

Thunberg’s rise to prominence to global fame made her both a leader in the activist community and a target for detractors, owing to her youth. The “Greta effect” has been described by The Guardian and other newspapers as Thunberg’s influence on the global stage.
