Greta Thunberg is Time Person of the Year 2019, the magazine announced Tuesday. The 16-year-old climate activist earned the recognition for her fearless efforts to raise global awareness about climate change. She is the youngest person to receive the title in its 92-year history
Time Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal announced Person of the Year on NBC’s “Today” show. He said Thunberg represents a “broader generational shift” of young people demanding change.
