Of course, almost everyone with a TV or internet connection knows that 16 year old Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg has taken the world by storm, so to speak, as the now very famous spokesperson for the grassroots Fridays for Future and Global School Strikes youth movement. Though did you know that it was actually the passionate dedication of a handful of Australian students from the small country town of Castlemaine in Victoria, led by Harriet and her friends Milou and Callum, who seeded the rapidly rising groundswell of global support for Greta when they organised a strike of around 30 students on November 1st 2018, even before any striking groups in Europe started building on the momentum? Just over 4 months later on March 15th 2019 the world saw over 1 million striking around the globe, and an estimated 150,000 in Australia alone!

So it was Australia’s strong activism that put the world spotlight on to Greta and turned her individual striking into a social movement. In fact, Europe’s Fridays for Future office stated that Australia was the reason Greta was invited to attend COP24, where she gave her passionate speech that rang out around the world via social media. The Victorian State Museum has requested to appropriate the original hand-made signs of Harriet’s ‘Make Coal History’ and Milou’s ‘Stop Adani’ earrings from the November 1st strike for their heritage collection, in recognition of their context in the social movement. Over 7,000 young people between the ages of 18 to 29 applied from around the world to attend the first ever United Nations Youth Climate Summit in New York City on Saturday, September 21, 2019 and Harriet received a special invitation from the UN to attend this very important Youth Climate Summit.

It is the passionate dedication of young climate activists like Harriet, Greta, David and Cat who are sparking world-wide attention and overdue focus to this global climate emergency - and trailblazing action on climate for a safe future for everyone!
