Since her school strike in the fall of 2018, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg has become arguably the most prolific activist in the world. Recently, she has found herself detained by the Israeli military for the second time in less than four months, after she and the so-called Freedom Flotilla Coalition attempted to breach the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza.
For a brief period, Thunberg appeared to be leaving her activist life behind. Since 2020, climate issues have lost much of the grip they had on voters during the latter half of the 2010s. Faced with rising inflation, policymakers have turned their focus back to pocketbook issues. Greta herself appeared to be ready to turn the page as she enrolled at Stockholm University in the fall of 2023.
