Anna Kernahan is a climate, ecological, social justice and human rights activist, founder of Fridays for Future Northern Ireland, writer and a youth advocate from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They[a] protest every Friday to acknowledge climate changes and why to take it seriously, as part of Fridays For Future, a global climate strike movement.[2][3][4][5]

Then, in September 2019, they created Fridays For Future Northern Ireland, the national Northern Irish section of Friday For Future protesting and raising awareness about climate change every Friday.[7][9][4]

Thus, Kernahan has been school striking every Friday without any exception on the sculpture Spirit of Belfast, protesting frequently alone.[10][11]Besides remonstrating for the environment, they write poems, their thoughts on the environmental problems and their experiences as an activist and often make art to concern people about the pollution and other climate problems, specially directed to politicians and governments.[12]

Solo But Not Alone

In December 2019, Kernahan and two friends, Grace Maddrell and Helen Jackson, created a Twitter page, called Solo Not Alone,[13] with the purpose of sharing stories of solo climate strikes.[7][14][15]

On 14th of March 2020, Kernahan had a TED-Talk where they and another young climate activist, Kaitlyn Laverty, called the viewers to act and take the environmental problems seriously.[19]

Amnesty Brave Award 2020

In 2020, Kernahan won the Amnesty Brave Award 2020 as they had been striking for more than half a year when Ireland had very strict protesting laws.[20]

Between 15th to 28th of February 2021, in the Northern Ireland Science Festival, Kernahan joined a inter-generational conversation on the key problems facing the planet and what is necessary to do in order to influence politicians and the public, named How to save the planet, .
