Greta's Global Blitz: Gaza to DC, Clashes and Kudos

Greta Thurnberg BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Greta Thunberg has been a visible force over the past week, mingling activism, controversy, and a dash of celebrity style. She made global headlines for joining a protest at the Eternal Flame in Sarajevo, where she read aloud the names of children killed in Gaza, an act covered by Sarajevo Times. Greta’s appearance in a Neretva t-shirt was deliberate, emphasizing her support not just for Palestinian victims but also for Bosnian environmentalists fighting to save the river from corporate interests. The garment’s Srebrenica flower and Palestinian colors underscored her intersectional approach to justice, linking climate, anti-fascism, and humanitarian advocacy. According to Klix.ba, she is on a sweeping tour of the Balkans, stopping in Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia, and soon, Croatia. She’s been notably silent with local media but outspoken in her visible protest actions.

Turning up at the “syd for solen” festival in Copenhagen, Greta was spotted among the crowd. Chappell Roan publicly thanked Greta from the stage, commending her for “doing what no other country will,” a moment warmly shared across Instagram. That social media energy is matched by Greta’s own booming Instagram presence; according to HypeAuditor, her follower count sits above 15 million with estimated monthly earnings approaching $28,000. Her public life continues to attract celebrity attention, and old rumors resurfaced about her collegial relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, who years earlier praised her climate leadership and shut down abusive speculations with an appreciative Instagram post, as reported by FandomWire.

But controversy follows her activism. Greta was reportedly detained by Israeli authorities along with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition this week after their humanitarian ship aimed at breaking the Gaza blockade was halted, reports from IMDb News confirm. United States Senator Lindsey Graham ignited outrage on X after joking, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!” in response to her aid convoy; his remarks were widely condemned by well-known figures including Mehdi Hasan and Tyler Oakley and called out as undemocratic and threatening to nonviolent activists.

Meanwhile, Greta wrapped a six-day stint in Washington, DC, rallying US lawmakers and young activists to “wake up” on climate change. The TBS News noted her blunt message that America is history’s largest carbon polluter, criticizing US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, and urging urgent action from Congress. Her continued Fridays For Future strikes and participation in hearings—where she submitted a key IPCC report—underscore her unflagging resolve at the highest levels.

On the climate front at home, CleanTechnica outlined a sobering portrait of Sweden’s fading climate leadership. Experts quoted by Inside Climate News and Dagens Nyheter lamented the country’s policy reversals, which have eroded its credibility—a sharp contrast to the energy Greta continues to bring on the world stage.

In short, Greta Thunberg’s week has been dense with activism, public engagement, controversy, and viral gratitude—a mix of real impact and headline-making drama that will likely shape her biography, public reputation, and the climate movement’s narrative for months to come.
