Thunberg takes viewers on a journey with her as she travels the globe to see first-hand the effects of the climate change crisis.
She’s considered one of the most influential voices of her generation, but environmental activist and climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg is incredibly modest when it comes to talking about the impact she has made.
The 18-year-old from Sweden has become a global force for good following her lone protest in 2018 which saw her strike for three weeks outside the Swedish parliament holding a sign saying “School Strike for Climate”.
But ask her and she says she’s still surprised at the effect she’s had a few years down line.“I still don’t really understand why people are actually listening to me,” she says frankly when we talk on Zoom.

Today s school strike for climate change is the fourth intergenerational climate strike in the history of Aotearoa.
Today s school strike for climate change is the fourth intergenerational climate strike in the history of Aotearoa. The seas are rising and so are we. That was just one of several messages voiced as about 250 Tauranga people, young and old, marched through the city s CBD yesterday to call for greater action on climate change.
The march started at noon at the waterfront by The Strand before weaving to Elizabeth St and then to Willow St where Tauranga City Council s main entrance is.
Greta Thunberg has said the only way forward in the fight against climate change is to “treat the crisis like a crisis”.
The Swedish climate and environmental activist was speaking ahead of the airing of BBC series Greta Thunberg: A Year To Change The World, which follows her journey during a year off school in 2019 as she explores the science of global warming and challenges world leaders to take action.
Over three episodes, the 18-year-old witnesses first-hand the consequences of climate change and also meets climate scientists and experts, among them naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.
On Monday 12/4 9pm BST episode 1 of “A Year To Change The World” will air on @BBCOne .It’s a documentary series in 3 parts which followed me during my year off school and explores the science behind the climate crisis. @bbcstudiospic.twitter.com/kamwork1kC
