环境非政府组织在世界范围内广泛存在，自20世纪80年代以来，它们对全球环境政治和环境话语的影响越来越大。我们分析了2010年代中期参加全球环境公约的679个ENGO的原始数据集，并将定量内容分析应用于ENGO使命声明，以产生全球环境话语的归纳类型学。话语类别与ENGO属性数据相结合，以可视化这个全球网络ENGO部门的政治拓扑结构。我们的研究结果证实了一些常见的断言，并提供了新的见解。ENERGY比传统上认识到的更加多样化。定量证据证实，南北在人力和财政资源方面存在巨大差距。四个主要的话语：环境管理，气候政治，环境正义和生态现代化。我们将我们的类型学与现有文献进行比较，其中气候政治和环境正义未得到充分重视，我们讨论了如何扩展本研究的数据和方法。天气实证ENGO研究是必不可少的准确理解ENGO部门和全球环境政治。
Environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) exist worldwide, and since the 1980s they have increasingly influenced global environmental politics and environmental discourse. We analyze an original dataset of 679 ENGOs participating in global environmental conventions in the mid-2010s, and we apply quantitative content analysis to ENGO mission statements to produce an inductive typology of global environmental discourse. Discourse categories are combined with ENGO attribute data to visualize the political topology of this globally-networked ENGO sector. Our results confirm some common assertions and provide new insights. ENGOs are more diverse than conventionally recognized. Quantitative evidence confirms strong North-South disparities in human and financial resources. Four primary discourses are identified: Environmental Management, Climate Politics, Environmental Justice, and Ecological Modernization. We compare our typology to existing literature, where Climate Politics and Environmental Justice are under-appreciated, and we discuss ways to expand on the data and methods of this study. Synoptic empirical ENGO research is essential to accurately understanding the ENGO sector and global environmental politics.
