与大多数环境问题相比，气候变化是不寻常的，因为它已经被正统的政策机构和公共和私营部门组织所接受。作者探讨了导致建立一个认识社区的条件，汇集了广泛的行为者，包括各种非政府组织，以及界定社区内非政府组织参与的业务层面。认识共同体并不意味着意见或方法的一致性，而是允许在其成员如何构建问题以及他们的目标、核心信念和对气候变化的有利反应方面有所区别。确定了非政府组织参与这场辩论的三种广泛的参与方式：制定创造性的政策解决方案，知识建设和游说或宣传。应该指出，作者主要指的是发展或环境非政府组织，尽管他们确实在一些地方讨论了商业非政府组织。
Climate change is unusual compared with most environmental issues in the extent to which it has become accepted among orthodox policy institutions and public-and private-sector organizations. The authors explore the conditions that have led to the establishment of an epistemic community that brings together a broad array of actors, including the various NGOs, and the operational dimensions that define the participation of NGOs within the community. An epistemic community does not imply conformity of opinion or approach but allows for differentiation in terms of how its members construct the problem, and their objectives, core beliefs and favoured responses to climate change. Three broad styles of engagement through which NGOs contribute to this debate are identified: developing creative policy solutions, knowledge construction, and lobbying or campaigning. It should be noted that the authors refer primarily to development or environmental NGOs (ENGOs), though they do discuss business NGOs at a few points.
