Solutions to global sustainability challenges are increasingly
technology-intensive. Yet, technologies are neither developed nor applied to
governance problems in a socio-political vacuum. Despite aspirations to provide
novel solutions to current sustainability governance challenges, many
technology-centred projects, pilots and plans remain implicated in
longer-standing global governance trends shaping the possibilities for success in
often under-recognized ways. This article identifies three overlapping contexts
within which technology-led efforts to address sustainability challenges are
evolving, highlighting the growing roles of: (1) private actors; (2)
experimentalism; and (3) informality. The confluence of these interconnected
trends illuminates an important yet often under-recognized paradox: that the use
of technology in multi-stakeholder initiatives tends to reduce rather than expand
the set of actors, enhancing instead of reducing challenges to participation and
transparency, and reinforcing rather than transforming existing forms of power
relations. Without recognizing and attempting to address these limits,
technology-led multi-stakeholder initiatives will remain less effective in
addressing the complexity and uncertainty surrounding global sustainability
governance. We provide pathways for interrogating the ways that novel
technologies are being harnessed to address long-standing global sustainability
issues in manners that foreground key ethical, social and political
considerations and the contexts in which they are evolving.
