		</div><p>Teenage Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been named Time’s youngest “person of the year”.</p>
<p>The 16-year-old has become the face of the youth climate movement, drawing large crowds with her appearances at protests and conferences over the past year and a half.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Some have welcomed her activism, including her speeches challenging world leaders to do more to stop global warming, but others have criticised her sometimes combative tone.</p>
<p>“For sounding the alarm about humanity’s predatory relationship with the only home we have, for bringing to a fragmented world a voice that transcends backgrounds and borders, for showing us all what it might look like when a new generation leads, Greta Thunberg is Time’s 2019 Person of the Year,” the media franchise said.</p>

<p>Greta was in Madrid on Wednesday, where she addressed negotiators at the UN’s COP25 climate talks.</p>
<p>Last year’s Time winners included murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi; the staff of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, where five people were shot dead; Philippine journalist Maria Ressa; and two Reuters journalists, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo.</p>
<p>TIME Editor-in-Chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“For sounding the alarm about humanity’s predatory relationship with the only home we have, for bringing to a fragmented world a voice that transcends backgrounds and borders, for showing us all what it might look like when a new generation leads, Greta Thunberg is TIME’s 2019 Person of the Year.”</p></blockquote>
