Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has donated a $100,000 (£80,000) prize she won from a Danish foundation to the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) for use against the pandemic.
“Like the climate crisis, the coronavirus pandemic is a child rights' crisis,” said Thunberg
“It will affect all children, now and in the long term, but vulnerable groups will be impacted the most. I’m asking everyone to step up and join me in support of Unicef's vital work to save children’s lives, to protect health and continue education.”
Danish anti-poverty organisation Human Act, which awarded Thunberg the original prize, has matched her donation.
