Greta Thunberg will receive a honorary doctor of laws degree from the University

Title couldn’t say it all.
Greta Thunberg will receive a honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of British Columbia Okanagan (Canada), in late May this spring.
“It is an honour to have ... Ms. Thunberg, together with all 18 recipients this year, join the UBC community,"
UBC Okanagan's principal and vice chancellor, Lesley Cormack, said in the release that the degree recipients are "a remarkable group of people that are making a difference in their communities, both globally and locally".
Cormack said. "As a university that is committed to bold thinking and social and technological innovation, their contributions to the most urgent issues of our day—including public health and climate change—are critical in our journey towards a better, safer and more sustainable future.”
Thunberg, a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has made her mark by challenging world leaders to take science-based action against climate change as she sparked activism around the globe.
