i-D Magazine / The Environmental Issue

In March 2019, the world saw the largest global youth strike with over 1.4 million students from around the world ditch school for the day to demand that their future, and that of the planet, be protected. It was the biggest day of climate action ever, and it was set off by one girl.

For issue 356 of i-D, photographer Harley Weir captured this girl: 16-year old activist and Nobel Prize-nominee Greta Thunberg, the activist who inspired this global youth movement and is changing the world in the process.
