The 16-year-old won headlines and inspired action around the world with her “school climate strike” outside Sweden’s Parliament last year.
And her visit to a packed room in Westminster on Tuesday coincided with a climate protest in the capital that has seen more than 1000 arrests and sparked fierce debate over its tactics and aims.
