Applying insights from science and technology studies about the “coproduction” of science and sociopolitical order to research on legal mobilization yields important theoretical insights. Using the polar bear petition campaign by the Center for Biological Diversity as an illustrative case, this article shows how this protracted legal campaign around protection of the polar bear and its habitat opened up new legal opportunities for those advocating for the regulation of carbon emissions, mandated state-sponsored generation of climate science, legally constructed the polar bear as “endangered,” and helped to shape the priorities of the nongovernmental organization itself.

共同生产濒临灭绝的北极熊：科学、​​气候变化和法律动员

将科学技术研究中关于科学与社会政治秩序“共同生产”的见解应用于法律动员的研究，会产生重要的理论见解。本文以生物多样性中心的北极熊请愿活动为例，展示了这项围绕保护北极熊及其栖息地的旷日持久的法律运动如何为倡导监管碳排放的人开辟了新的法律机会，授权国家资助的一代气候科学，合法地将北极熊定义为“濒危”，并帮助确定非政府组织本身的优先事项。
