It’s very unlikely that Greta Thunberg wrote her entire 2019 UN Climate Action Summit address completely by herself without any input. Here’s why: Public figures almost always get help – Even seasoned politicians, activists, and celebrities work with speechwriters, advisors, or editors when addressing international bodies like the UN. Greta’s style is distinctive – The emotional urgency and plainspoken moral tone (“How dare you…”) is consistent with how she has spoken in other settings, so her voice is clearly present. Collaborative process – It’s most plausible that Greta drafted key ideas, themes, and emotional points herself (she has a track record of writing her own speeches for school strikes and rallies), but then had assistance from her parents, advisors, or climate policy experts to refine the language and make it impactful for a global stage. Her own acknowledgment – In past interviews, Greta has said she often writes her speeches but sometimes asks for help with phrasing or English (since Swedish is her first language). So: Greta likely originated the speech, but it was polished collaboratively. The words were consistent with her activism, but the setting (the UN) almost certainly meant she had editorial and strategic support. Do you want me to break down which parts sound “authentically Greta” versus what seems more professionally coached?
