- Abstract
- This working paper has precisely for objective to study the voice of youth in global biodiversity politics during COP15. In particular, it focuses on the role of European youth actors. Indeed, as partly privileged youth as they have the capacity and support to engage in international processes (Orsini and Kang 2023), European youth represent a most-likely case to analyse the extent to which youth voices can be heard at the international level of policymaking. More precisely, the working paper aims at answering two research questions: - Under which conditions have European youth actors been able to participate in the COP15 negotiations? - To which extent have they been able to bring a new voice at the international level of policymaking on biodiversity issues? Methodologically, the working paper relies on observations during the Youth Summit organized prior to COP15 on the 5th and 6th December 2022; and during COP15. Results also draw from 54 semi-structured interviews conducted mostly with youth at COP15. A first part analyses the circumstances of European youth participation at COP15 and a second part details the claims vehiculated by European youth actors during the COP.
