Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce our forthcoming Special Issue, entitled “Addressing Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation at the Organizational Level”, in which we explore critical insights into climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies at an organizational level.
Advances in sustainable performance metrics and targets, strategic implementation, and the reporting of climate change mitigation and adaptation are now more challenging for companies than ever, as confirmed by the introduction to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs). Taking urgent action to combat climate change (SDG 13) and its impacts is one of the main pillars of the CSRD and is explicitly addressed by ESRS E1 “Climate change.”
In this view, the novelty introduced by the CSRD can be seen as an opportunity to provide management scholars and practitioners with a basis for designing, planning, implementing, and reporting their transition plans for climate change mitigation. Several answers are urgently needed to understand how material impacts, risks, and opportunities for climate change mitigation and their interaction with strategy and business models can be explored and managed by organizations.
This Special Issue welcomes articles that can provide new findings, innovative sustainable tools, and critical insights on plans, measures, and reports of climate change mitigation and adaptation at an organizational level to help guide sustainability management scholars, practitioners, and policymakers and stimulate discussion, debate, and improvement. Both theoretical and empirical papers that provide new insights into the reasons, processes, practices, and implications of sustainability reporting and managing climate change mitigation are welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- GHG emission-reduction targets.
- Climate change mitigation actions.
- Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics.
- Sustainability reporting.
- Decarbonization levers.
- Sustainable Performance Management Systems.
- Sustainable performance on land and the green economy.
- The impact of the ESRSs on corporate performance.
- Sustainable decision making.
- Transition plans for climate change mitigation and behavioral strategies.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
