The research that Pia Kohler gathered in this book is a timely reminder of the importance of how scientific expertise is incorporated in global environmental law. This is relevant today, as expertise needs to adapt to the current post-normal context where ‘facts are uncertain, values in dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent’. The book explores how scientific expert bodies advise international environmental treaties and influence their implementation. Kohler’s interdisciplinary background combines environmental sciences and international relations, which are key to analyse the dynamics within scientific expert bodies. — Mara R.

“This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how science advisory committees shape multilateral environmental agreements. The author provides a compelling blend of historical and empirical insights on both global environmental politics and in science-policy interfaces and advances these field in important ways.”
