The Climate Challenge: Special Issue of Business & Society

March 19, 2012 754

Business & Society has released a special issue on the important global topic of climate change, corporate strategy, and politics, bringing together articles by a team of scholars from institutions in Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. Guest editors Chukwumerije Okereke of the University of Reading, Bettina Wittneben of the University of Oxford, and Frances Bowen of Queen Mary University of London authored the introductory essay, titled “Climate Change: Challenging Business, Transforming Politics.” To access all articles in this special issue, please click here.

The abstract:

Climate change challenges contemporary management practices and ways of organizing. While aspects of this challenge have been long recognized, many pertinent dimensions are less effectively articulated. Based on contemporary literature and insights from articles submitted to this special issue, the guest editors of this special issue highlight some of the challenges posed by climate change to government and business, and indicate the range of options and approaches being adopted to address these challenges.
