Flexible Networks Asserting Agency: Youth Participation in UNFCCC Processes
Youth are increasingly regarded as key actors in climate politics. At the global level, youth participation is visible at the conferences of the parties (COPs) to the UNFCCC. While the number of youth participants has gradually increased, the structural dimensions of youth participation, especially their networks in international policymaking, remain underexplored. This article addresses this knowledge gap by analyzing youth involvement at the UN…

Yet, while race, gender, and class challenges are shaking the discipline, age is a key research gap. To fill this gap, the conceptual departure of this forum is t…

Environmental degradation is one of the most significant challenges faced by humanity, yet current global politics struggle to implement collective solutions. Previous research has suggested that the EU has a leadership role in the international climate change regime complex, which refer to a set of overlapping institutions that address different aspects of climate governance. Moreover, within these regime complexes, non-state actors have been fo…
