Abstract

The article discusses the growing role of non-state actors in global climate
governance, contrasting the apparent consensus on their global contributions with
the proliferation of local environmental conflicts. Liberal institutionalist approaches
highlight the polycentric and transnational nature of this governance but do not
address gaps in the representation of local groups affected by global solutions like
the energy transition. Through a literature review and discussion of conflicts related
to lithium mining in South America, we argue that the consensus on non-state action
is shaped by corporate interests’ hegemony, making local conflicts and inequalities
invisible.
