Logo of Luisa Neubauer

Luisa-Marie Neubauer, born in 1996 in Hamburg, is one of Germany's best-known climate activists and one of the key organizers of Fridays for Future. Since 2018, she has significantly shaped the German climate movement and played a central role in the major school strikes and mass protests of 2018 and 2019. Beyond her activism, she publishes books and articles, often in collaboration with journalists and scientists, and also works internationally on texts concerning climate movement strategy.
Neubauer regularly publishes on climate policy, democracy, and social developments and uses her strong online presence to convey political demands and mobilizations to young target audiences. At the same time, she functions as a mediator between the climate movement, science, and the public, and is one of the most visible voices of German climate policy.
She frequently appears in talk shows and public debates, lives in Berlin, and has been in a relationship with journalist and moderator Louis Klamroth since 2023. Her cousin Carla Reemtsma also actively engages in the climate movement and worked for a time as a spokesperson for Fridays for Future.

  • Greta Thunberg
    Greta Thunberg is a long-standing fellow campaigner of Luisa Neubauer in the fight against the global climate crisis. The Swedish activist initiated the global climate protest movement Fridays for Future with her school strikes. Luisa Neubauer and Greta Thunberg have known each other since the period of joint climate protests from 2018/19 onwards, and they were long united by the shared goal of the climate movement. Since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, differences in the political orientation of Greta Thunberg and Luisa Neubauer regarding Israel and the conflict in the Middle East became known. Since then, they have had fewer public appearances together, and the pursuit of their shared goal of the climate movement Fridays for Future is also no longer particularly visible in public.
