"That is more money than I can begin to imagine, but all the prize money will be donated, through my foundation, to different organisations and projects who are working to help people on the front line, affected by the climate crisis and ecological crisis," the Swedish teen said in a video posted online.
She was awarded the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity for the way she "has been able to mobilise younger generations for the cause of climate change and her tenacious struggle to alter a status quo that persists", Jorge Sampaio, chair of the prize jury, said earlier. The first 100,000 euros of the prize money will go to the "SOS Amazonia" campaign led by Fridays For Future Brazil to tackle the coronavirus outbreak in the Amazon.
Another 100,000 euros will go to the Stop Ecocide Foundation "to support their work to make ecocide an international crime", Thunberg said on Twitter. The million euro is the largest prize won by the 17-year-old environmental campaigner who has also won Amnesty International's top human rights prize and the Swedish Right Livelihood Award, often presented as an alternative Nobel.Thunberg and three other young climate activists on Thursday launched an appeal to EU leaders to "face up to the climate emergency", in an open letter signed by 150 scientists and a host of celebrities.
So her parents told her to...
She looks like a 43 year old male stockbroker in this pic
Sure she bikes and walks everywhere. Probably doesn’t have home heating or anything. Probably roughs it. Cold showers, cold food and hopefully not in cans or plastic. Heaven forbid.
ElizabethMay All the negative and nasty comments towards someone raising awareness about the importance and urgency to protect our environment and quality of life - and it’s obvious that most of you don’t or can’t even read! The world respects Gretta more than they do the president of the US
Well where is the 17;yr old getting 1.1 million from,,, shake your head.
That’s more than some of these celebrities are donating...kind gesture on her part.
CTV FAVORITE ANTIFA GIRL ...CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT....
That chick in the middle who looks like a fetal alcohol syndrome victim?
She's an idiot. Nobody cares.
Greta Thunberg should start pointing her environmental finger at China, India etc.
Who gives a fuck
We finally know who is giving her 1.1 million to donate. BUT the real question is why reporters who work for are not Even a slight bit curious about where she is getting 1.1 million to donoate. Who is giving a 16 year old CHILD 1.1 million? Doesn't that seem weird?
jesus christ just go to school kiddo
Communist groups** fixed it for you
I didn't know a 16 year old has 1.1 million to donate. Where did she get all that money? Who gave it to her? Who does she work for? Better yet, who is prepping her and creating a child puppet? I've seen this before.
How did she get that much money?
Good for her practising what she preaches
ElizabethMay Teenager with millions lol.
Where did she get that kind of money?
You can only imagine how much money Greta and her family rake in
Doing pretty good for a child who doesn’t collect fees, wonder how she became rich enough to donate a mil? 🙄🙄
That was stupid they will just by alcohol.
Who ?
Cue the angry dudes being mad a child.
So?
Still beating that horse eh 🙄
A Soros puppet Most likely abused at birth
Who CARES!
Great example for kids. Drop out of school and just grift!
Who cares!!
So where did a high school drop out get a spare million bucks something wrong with this picture
If she wants to impress me. Go to China or India and tell them to stop polluting and not end up in a prison camp with missing organs. Then I'll listen to a know nothing shill.
This Little European racist is not going to keep we Natives from mining our resources. And she is banned from our land.
Will CTV confirm that Greta and family amassed over $100 million over the past months while being promoted by left wing media like CTV. Not bad for an autistic kid with unemployed parents. Donating to green groups is another PR stunt and the corrupt media gobbles it up.
Dumbberg will quit school say shes doing homebschooling then become one of the dumbest adults alive.
Greta who?
Who cares what CTV FAVORITE ANTIFA GIRL DOES OR SAYS ..
‘Through my foundation” what’s with these corrupt people and their foundations? Is it easier to launder money?
Thank God she finally left canada
Of course. Because she’s supported by two massive billionaires who pay her salary and all expenses.
Remember when she had stolen dreams and a stolen childhood ?
Tell her to send some money to Canada so we can build proper water treatment so we stop dumping millions of gallons of feces into our lakes and rivers
I love that she triggers all these idiots, so funny. The uneducated are always the loudest.
How does she have 1.1 million dollars, especially to donate?
Good for her. Now if she would only shut the hell up.
This little girl is a much better person than I am
The little girl who triggers right wing fact-deniers like none other. She should’ve won Time’s person of the year for that alone.
Who?
LOL --- Who's Greta ... remind us
