Paper Presentation in a Themed Session

This paper elaborates on the current understanding of how organizations may successfully integrate diverse voices into their responses to climate change using language as a pivot. In existing research, discussions about linguistic perspectives when speaking concerning organizational responses to climate change are usually ignored, thus strengthening the view that interest in where voices have been involved is very much a required point. The paper also aims at humanizing the representation of organizational responses to climate change through converse contextual perspectives that include members from different social sections, who are often ignored during the interpretation, analysis, and review of climate change approaches. It highlights the importance of presenting a holistic view on these cultural approaches, acknowledging that incorporating various experiences and narratives in organizational responses is not just an academic endeavor but an essential shift towards creating a more cohesive and comprehensive worldwide debate regarding climate activities.
