How to use enabling in a sentence?

1. Sean Doolittle:

   There's a lot of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, it has more to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling of conspiracy theories and widening the divide in this country, at the end of the day, as much as I wanted to be there with my teammates and share that experience with my teammates, I can't do it.

5. Steven Maijoor:

   The lack of clarity on the methodologies underpinning those scoring mechanisms and their diversity does not contribute to enabling investors to effectively compare investments which are marketed as sustainable, thus contributing to the risk of greenwashing, personally I believe that, where ESG ratings are used for investment purposes, ESG rating agencies should be regulated and supervised appropriately by public sector authorities.
