“Women are here to demand climate justice!”: Transnational feminist activism at the climate negotiations

The womxn of the Women and Gender Constituency (WGC), a civil society group at the climate negotiations, hold a rich diversity of identities, strategies, and priorities, but are united under a collective pursuit of gender-inclusive climate justice. This project will document the construction and history of this shared space, where strategic coalitions are built and an iterative collective identity has been produced. This research will enhance understanding of the WGC’s orientation and strategy, providing insight into their vision and struggle for a gender and climate just world.

Advisors: Kai Bosworth (Institute at Brown for Environment and Society), Tara Daniels (Women’s Environment and Development Organization), and Bridget Burns (Women’s Environment and Development Organization)
