Big data and blockchain technologies, for example, are increasingly instrumental to a growing range of 'multi-stakeholder' arrangements between private forprofit firms and public bodies seeking, for instance, to protect working conditions or to trace and disclose greenhouse gas emissions and 'conflict minerals' across global supply chains. The prominent roles of audit firms and private sector consultants in developing technological solutions to global sustainability governance challenges raise important issues. Policy making and broader public discussion over the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Big Data, and blockchain into global sustainability governance need to be far more socially and politically sensitive than is currently the case.	./cache/cord-318672-4nkrh373.txt	./txt/cord-318672-4nkrh373.txt
