She's gotten the issue of climate change to be a major issue with young voters
It's really not her fault that the people in power have a vested interest in ignoring climate change.
Also she got Andrew Tate arrested so there's that.

How to you figure the people in power have a vested interest in ignoring climate change? Seems like everyone has a vested interest in acknowledging any risk to our civilization.
She has achieved nothing because we're so far past words on these issues.
Most humans must die.
Are you going to volunteer?
I'm doing my part to ensure I die at a respectably young age by my own hand, yes.
Edgy. And stupid.
Speaking from a German perspective I feel like the Fridays for future movement has significantly affected (parts of) her generation. I have many colleagues whose kids are focusing on a diet with less environmental impact and also asking their parents to change.
It is impressive that it has been such a long running and wide spreading movement and I am sure that there will be many politicians, activists and entrepreneurs coming out of this movement in the future.
It is hard to expect anything more from a child who has been belittled constantly. I wish I would be standing up for my believes as strongly as she does.
If your parents were multimillionaires and hired publicists and boat crews and built a brand around those beliefs, I'm sure you would have too.
Five years later this is a relevant question. So her awareness campaign is at least as effective as Susan G. Komen.
Hopefully Greta's legacy is more then just a non-profit that steals from desperate cancer patients but given the genesis of her brand, I doubt it.
