  Thunberg was guest editor of the BBC Radio's flagship current affairs programme, the Today Programme in late 2019. It featured interviews on climate change with Sir David Attenborough, Bank of England chief Mark Carney, Massive Attack 's Robert Del Naja, and Shell Oil executive Maarten Wetselaar, and was released as a podcast containing these interviews and other highlights. A month later, she called on German company Siemens to stop the delivery of railway equipment to the controversial Carmichael coal mine, operated by a subsidiary of Indian company Adani Group in Australia, but on 13 January, Siemens said that it would continue to honour its contract with Adani.
  
  Thunberg returned to the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland on 21 January 2020. She delivered two speeches, and participated in panel discussions hosted by The New York Times and the World Economic Forum. Thunberg used many of the themes contained in her previous speeches, but focused on one in particular: "Our house is still on fire." Thunberg joked that she cannot complain about not being heard, saying: "I am being heard all the time." The next month, she travelled to Oxford University to meet Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning Pakistani activist for female education who had been shot in the head by the Taliban as a schoolgirl. Thunberg was later to join a school strike in Bristol. She also attended an extraordinary meeting of the European Parliament 's Environment Committee to talk about the European Climate Law. There she declared that she considered the new proposal for a climate law published by the European Commission to be a surrender.
  
  Thunberg ended her gap year in August 2020. Travel over the next year was restricted because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
