By December 2018, more than 20,000 students from around the world, most belonging to boys’, co-ed as well as girls’ school had joined her. She wanted to be a part of strikes around Europe, where she commuted by train to limit the burden on the environment.

She said: "How dare you? I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?" She was allotted the title - Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

She has given her views at international conferences, including the UN's 2019 Climate Change Gathering in New York, and this year's World Economic Forum in Davos. At the summit, she advised banks, industries and governments to stop making monetary advances to fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and gas. "Instead, they should invest their money in existing sustainable technologies, research and in restoring nature," she said.
