Greta Thunberg has pledged to donate 1 million euros – more than $1.14 million – in prize money. The 17-year-old climate activist was awarded the inaugural Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity, which recognizes people for their contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
In a video tweeted by Thunberg, she said all the prize money will be donated through her foundation to „different organizations and projects who are working to help people on the frontlines affected by the climate crisis and ecological crisis, especially in the Global South.“
She said the prize money is more than she can „begin to imagine,“ and that she hopes it will help her „do more good in the world.
