Garsten emphasized that these actors are playing an increasingly important role in shaping global climate governance. One of her ongoing projects, Global Foresight, analyzes how think tanks and business-oriented organizations participate in the governance of climate issues—from policy design to lobbying efforts and strategic communication. According to Garsten, this reveals a rapidly changing landscape in which expertise, economic interests, and ideological visions are interwoven.
The keynote was held in connection with a workshop organized by Score, where researchers from Score and CSO (Centre de sociologie des organisations, Sciences Po) gathered in Stockholm on 4–5 December for discussions within three thematic panels: Governing Sustainability, Mobilizing Law, and Knowledge and Health.
