Abstract
While the science-policy interface has been a major focus of recent climate policy research, the
role of agency practices and bureaucratic behavior has been largely overlooked. With a focus on
U.S. federal agencies and similar bureaucratic contexts, we review the literature on how
administrative decision-making influences the acquisition and application of climate evidence,
including information provided by both scientists and stakeholders. We show that administrative
procedures (requirements for gathering and analyzing information), agency characteristics (such
as mission and institutional design), and bureaucrat attributes (an individual’s expertise and
values) shape agencies’ use of climate evidence. Given the key role of the administrative state in
policymaking, our review calls for greater attention to public administration and its
consequences for climate responsiveness.
