The first (and only) official mention of women is contained in the text of a COP7 Marrakech resolution.

Decision FCCC/CP/2001/13/add.4 (2001), proposed by Samoa and supported by Russia and the EU governments, calls for more nominations of women to UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol bodies. It also tasks the Secretariat with determining the gender composition of these bodies and with bringing their results to the attention of the Parties.
