Climate activist and author Greta Thunberg has canceled her much-anticipated participation at the Edinburgh International Book Festival this year. The reason: Greta said the festival sponsor is heavily invested in fossil fuels, and she accused them of "greenwashing".
The Swedish climate activist said, as per a statement on the festival's website, "As a climate activist I cannot attend an event which receives sponsorship from Baillie Gifford, who invest heavily in the fossil fuel industry".
