Adriana Calderón

Adriana Calderón Hernandéz (born 2003) is a youth climate activist and organizer from Mexico. She currently advocates for climate justice with Fridays For Future, Fridays For Future MAPA (Most Affected People and Areas) and Fridays For Future in Mexico (Viernes Por El Futuro Mexico). She is one of the co-signers of UNICEF's Children's climate risk index report, part of the delegation of Fridays For Future MAPA that attended COP26, and one of the activists targeting the British multinational bank Standard Chartered and the Mexican state-owned petroleum company Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).

Biography Calderón was born in 2003 in Morelos, Mexico.

She has worked with Fridays For Future to organize mobilizations, such as for Earth Day and the campaign "PEMEX does not love you", which aimed to stop government subsidization of the petroleum company PEMEX. The COVID-19 pandemic allowed her to connect better within Fridays For Future. She participated in the creation of MAPA, creating a network of young people from Bangladesh, Thailand and the Philippines, who all ended up fighting for the same cause.

Calderón is studying international studies and modern languages at the University of Ottawa.
