- Seeing how climate change disproportionately affects women and children, the voices of young people and women are vital to incorporate into discussions and decision-making processes regarding climate change. This thesis explores the experiences of young women in the climate movement who have participated at the COP climate conferences between 2015-2023. By drawing on the theoretical framework of feminist institutionalism and hegemonic gender order in politics, this study utilizes qualitative interviews to examine the subjective experience of gendered institutional practices and structures at COP. Through a conceptual and thematic analysis of qualitative data derived from interviews, the findings suggest that the participants were affected by gendered barriers and exclusionary practices, such as tokenization, not experiencing safe spaces, and being judged for what they wear at COP, which further reinforces dominant gendered power structures. By researching the subjective experiences and perceptions of the participants, this research has provided a further understanding of how young women in the climate movement participate in multilateral climate negotiations.
