Description

This PDW co-organised by five BAM SIGs will offer an unusual opportunity for BAM members to join the conversation on the challenges that are faced, globally, as a result of climate change and to discuss and build on the adaptation strategies that have been mooted in response to this phenomenon. As temperatures rise and the weather becomes more extreme, adaptation by communities and in the built and natural environments to save our climate has become urgent, unequal in the content and effects of adaptation strategies, and costly.
What does it mean for individuals, groups, and organisations to endeavour to save our climate? Firstly, how will climate-change affect work and lives? Secondly, what is the role of organisations and management in meeting the challenges of climate change? What may be learned from business history about the response of organisations and management to a range of extreme challenges, including climate change? And how will innovation, including technology innovation, be drawn upon to transform the lives of the masses of ordinary people in many parts of the world who cannot relocate and must face the potentially existential consequences of climate change.

The PDW will share diverse perspectives of climate change and discuss possible adaptation strategies to mitigate and address its effects. To achieve these objectives, a range of scholars in business, management, and organisation studies will seek to share their knowledge of extreme challenges and the responses of diverse communities to challenges that have arisen in and beyond climate change. The key takeaway from the PDW is therefore expected to be collaborations across hitherto unexplored subject areas and novel ideas that emerge from these collaborations that will lead to interesting, publishable research on the management of climate change as an urgent topic of contemporary conversations in and beyond management studies.
