In August 2018, Swedish student Greta Thunberg started a strike near the parliament building in Stockholm. She claimed that she would stop visiting her school on Fridays until the government would start to follow the terms of the Paris Agreement on climate change — more specifically, global warming. The student became famous all around the world and her protest was supported by thousands of school students from 400 cities in the US, Europe, and Australia, and she was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
