Greta Thunberg is hitching an impromptu boat ride back to Europe.
The 16-year-old Swedish climate activist refuses to fly, because airplane travel has such a heavy carbon footprint - a single round-trip flight between New York and California generates roughly 20% of the greenhouse gases $4 in a year. In Europe, this means she typically travels by train.
This summer, Thunberg $4 in a zero-emissions sailboat. Upon arrival, she $4 with a powerful speech at the $4 in New York. Since then, she's been traveling across North America with plans to make her way to Chile to attend this year's most important climate summit, the UN COP25.
But Thunberg's unconventional travel methods posed a dilemma when the summit was moved to Madrid, as the Chilean capital, Santiago, erupted in riots and protests. The move $4 on the wrong side of the ocean.
On Tuesday, the activist said she'd found a last-minute ride with an Australian couple, their 11-month-old son, and a professional sailor.
"So happy to say I'll hopefully make it to COP25 in Madrid," Thunberg $4 with a photo of the motley crew. "We sail for Europe tomorrow morning!"
The trip will take about three weeks, according to $4. If all goes as planned, Thunberg will arrive just in time for COP25, which starts December 2.
Even with the time crunch, Thunberg did not want to take an airplane.
"I decided to sail to highlight the fact that you can't live sustainably in today's society," Thunberg $4 on Tuesday. "You have to go to the extreme."
When Thunberg put out a call for help getting back to Europe, Riley Whitelum responded on Twitter.
"If you get in contact with me I'm sure we could organise something," he $4 on November 4.
Whitelum and his wife, Elayna Carausu, have been sailing the world and making $4 of their adventures since 2014.
Within a week, the Times reported, they had arranged Thunberg's voyage in their 48-foot catamaran, "La Vagabonde."
Nikki Henderson, a professional sailor from Britain, will join the team. The couple's son, Lenny, and Thunberg's father, Svante, will also be along for the ride.
