States around the world are already experiencing the drastic consequences brought on by a changing climate. As the window of opportunity to limit global heating to 1.5 °C is quickly diminishing, it is only probable that states will establish more expert institutions to guide their green transition. The question of how societies have and are currently organizing expertise to plan and carry out their green transition is at the core of Postdoc Søren Lund Frandsen’s research. Søren is based at the Department of Organization at Copenhagen Business School. In this podcast episode Søren discusses questions related to how states and other societal actors organize, produce and shape the expertise necessary for the green transition.
