Although I admire a lot of the work that Greta has done. I think she has failed as an activist in that she's not really encouraged people to dream as much as she's encouraged people to sulk and be angry.
I think we need to start thinking more seriously about what the political, societal and economic system look like in a world where this thing that we want (climate change has stopped) can happen. Simply saying "we need to stop climate change, big producers are killing us and politicians are doing nothing" is the easy part. And someone in her position should probably start considering the hard part more seriously.
I, for one, think we need to completely rethink our representation-based system because personally I haven't felt properly represented in... well, ever. I can't expect politicians that are worried about the next elections to actually make the hard decisions that will definitely cost them lots of votes to be made. Specially because if they actually lose then the other side will not only backtrack everything that was done but push it further to the other side. It's so much easier to destroy than to construct.
