Thunberg and her fellow activists are not seeking monetary compensation, but want the countries to immediately work on meeting stricter climate goals. The UN’s Committee on the Rights of the Child will handle the complaint and decide if it can move forward. The committee’s suggestions, however, are not legally binding.“You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words. We will not let you get away with this.
