Anna and Kaitlyn, both 18, are climate justice and ecological activists. Anna is part of Fridays for Future, while Kaitlyn belongs to Extinction Rebellion. Both strike for the climate every Friday, advocating for science to be listened to, acted upon, and for the climate crisis to be taken seriously.

Anna, from Belfast, notably led the Youth Strike for Climate in September 2019, which saw thousands protest the lack of action by decision-makers. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event, an independently organized local community event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
