16-year-old Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has been named Time's Person of the Year for 2019.
The magazine said that Thunberg was awarded the honor after she "began a global movement by skipping school."
"Starting in August 2018, she spent her days camped out in front of the Swedish Parliament, holding a sign painted in black letters on a white background that read Skolstrejk för klimatet: 'School Strike for Climate.'"
