World-renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg has embarked on a large-scale maritime journey to Gaza from Japan. This latest move from the young environmentalist is intended to draw attention to the environmental challenges in the area. Further details regarding the number of ships involved, and the timeline for the journey, are yet to be released.

This news has drawn widespread attention in Japan as it visualizes Japan's ongoing commitment to environmental causes and its support for peaceful international movements. It can also be seen as a testament to Japan's commitment to international cooperation as the country is seen providing the base for Greta's journey.

In the US and EU, such activism is typically met with mixed reactions – with those in support of climate change action lauding the efforts, and those opposed criticising them. Generally, the public is highly responsive to environmental causes, with movements like Greta’s garnering significant media attention and public engagement.
