This is an extraordinary example of who & what media serves. This media event was viewed by millions. Perhaps billions. See man who steps behind Thunberg, to the right. No one - not 1 journalist or media outlet reported on who this man was - that accompanied Thunberg EVERYWHERE.
ClimateWeekNYC was created for The Climate Group by communications specialist Callum Grieve. #WWF identifies Grieve as a co-founder of #WeMeanBusiness. Grieve was the 3rd person to respond to Rentzhog's Aug 20 2018 first Greta tweet, tagging 9 others.
A "tweet" created within this thread appears to be isolated. So adding it, w/ a couple more.
#TheGuardian uses the very image in 2 articles. No one notices/asks the obvious questions. Who is this person beside #Thunberg, who gave access, & why.
ClimateWeekNYC, attributed to Grieves, was founded in 2009 as a partnership between The Climate Group, #UN (now partnered w/ WEF), UN Foundation, NYC, Gov't of Denmark, #TckTckTck (GCCA) & CDP.
Climate Group is a co-founder of We Mean Business.
