The contributions given by her Foundation are clearly on the website to who and how much. This includes donations given to the Foundation from prize money, sale of her books or her personal TV appearances. https://thegretathunbergfoundation.org/where-the-money-goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incumbent upon the person making the allegation of malfeasance to prove that funds have been misused. It's obviously ridiculous to ask someone to prove a negative. And given that Thunberg is Target A for the climate change denialist movement, if she had misappropriated those funds, somebody most likely would have cottoned on to it by now.

Bkk Brian Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Greta Thunberg on Abu Dhabi’s oil chief leading COP28 climate summit: ‘Completely ridiculous’ Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Thursday became the latest vocal critic of the United Arab Emirates’ decision to name the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) as president of this year’s COP28 climate summit. Asked her view on the appointment during a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, she said, “Lobbyists have been influencing these conferences since forever, and this just puts a very clear face to it... it’s completely ridiculous.” The presidency has sparked a torrent of criticism from climate activists and civil society organizations since its mid-January announcement, the UAE, one of the world’s top oil producers, will host the U.N.-led climate summit from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12, 2023. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/19/greta-thunberg-on-uae-oil-ceo-leading-cop28-completely-ridiculous.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
