CSSN Research Report 2021:2: The Mises Network and Climate Policy
Report, 2021

Think tanks have played a decisive role in the organised obstruction of climate action, denying,
minimising, or derailing ambitious climate change mitigation. This research briefing reviews the case
of the Ludwig von Mises Institutes and the Property and Freedom Society, a network of
ultra-libertarian groups active around the world, which we refer to as the Mises Institute Network in
the mobilisation and the dissemination of climate policy opposition discourse. We review the origins,
the history, the global distribution and the climate-related output of 31 Mises Institutes between 2000
and 2021.
