The Role of Experts and Expertise in Climate Transition and Environmental Governance

Abstract

The complex and ‘wicked’ problems arising due to climate change increases the need for experts and science to help solve or alliviate these problems. Yet the stakes of the climate transition also create dilemmas and paradoxes for the role of experts. This panel aims to stimulate a broader debate on how experts and expertise inform the governance, regulation, and implementation of the green transition as well as the potentials and pitfalls inherent to this.
