A schoolgirl from Sweden was nominated to the Nobel Prize of the World
A schoolgirl from Sweden, 16-year-old Greta Tunberg, received a nomination for the Nobel Prize of the world. This was announced by AFP by one of the deputies of the Norwegian parliament, nominating Tunberg for a prestigious award.
Deputy Freda Andre Ovstard explained his decision by the fact that the young Swede united thousands of other schoolchildren. During the protests, they began to demand more decisive actions to prevent climate changes. According to the deputy, the schoolgirl initiative is a great contribution to achieving peace all over the world.
Greta Tunberg herself on Twitter called the nomination for the Nobel Prize with honor and thanked for it.
