Just over a year ago, a quiet and mostly friendless teenager woke up, put on her blue hoodie, and sat by herself for hours in an act of singular defiance. Fourteen months later, she had become the voice of millions, a symbol of a rising global rebellion. The politics of climate action are as entrenched and complex as the phenomenon itself, and @gretathunberg has no magic solution. But she has succeeded in creating a global attitudinal shift, transforming millions of vague, middle-of-the-night anxieties into a worldwide movement calling for urgent change. @gretathunberg is TIME’s 2019 Person of the Year.

La joven activista de 16 años ha hecho historia poco a poco debido al mensaje que ha transmitido en diferentes países sobre la problemática del cambio climático y por la valentía de enfrentarse a gobernadores que culpa por no tomar acciones que beneficien al medio ambiente.

This was the year the climate crisis went from behind the curtain to center stage, from ambient political noise to squarely on the world's agenda, and no one did more to make that happen than @gretathunberg. Meaningful change rarely happens without the galvanizing force of influential individuals, writes editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal, and in 2019, the earth's existential crisis found one in Thunberg. For that reason, she is TIME's 2019 Person of the Year. Read more about the #TIMEPOY choice at the link in bio. Photograph by @evgenia_arbugaeva for TIME; Video by @maxim_arbugaev for TIME

Ante ello, Greta se ha vuelto un “ícono de una generación”, según lo mencionó la revista Time, pues varios jóvenes se han unido a ella, al igual que otros tantos famosos para hacer algo al respecto y dar más de importancia al tema que puede ser irreversible.

Siendo así, dicho medio la nombró como la “Persona del año”, por lo que en su reciente publicación colocaron su imagen dentro de la portada, además de que le realizaron una entrevista mientras ella viajaba en velero de Estados Unidos a Europa.

“Es una adolescente ordinaria que, al reunir el coraje para decirle la verdad al poder, se convirtió en el ícono de una generación. Al aclarar un peligro abstracto con indignación penetrante, Thunberg se convirtió en la voz más convincente sobre el tema”, mencionó la revista.

Last spring, before she became a global icon, Greta Thunberg enjoyed a semblance of calm and privacy. Now it’s bedlam wherever she goes. On the night train from Lisbon, @gretathunberg hides in the on-board kitchen to escape the lenses of dozens of cameras; when she is finally able to sneak into her cabin, she uses the moment of peace to write in her journal. When her train arrives in Madrid the next morning, the platform is again packed cheek-to-jowl with television cameras and reporters. Before stepping off the train and facing the pack, she wonders out loud how she can navigate the chaos. Even after she makes it inside the @unitednations climate summit, she’s swarmed. Photographers jostle through throngs of teenagers in green face paint chanting “Gre-TA, Gre-TA!” while others erupt in a spirited call-and-response: “What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!” Read more at the link in bio. #TIMEPOY Photograph by @evgenia_arbugaeva for TIME
