Organizations have tremendous influence over how people think, communicate, and act. Through their leadership, culture, policies, and everyday practices, they can help turn climate concern into meaningful action and build healthier, more resilient communities.

Organizations and Climate Action is a new research-backed report that explores how organizations can become powerful drivers of climate engagement and resilience. Drawing on organizational psychology and behavioral science, it provides practical guidance for embedding climate action into organizational culture, leadership, communication, and decision-making.

Whether you lead an organization, manage a team, or help shape workplace culture, this report offers actionable strategies to make climate action part of everyday organizational life.

What You’ll Discover

The report provides practical, research-informed guidance to help organizations:

  • Build climate leadership across all levels of an organization
  • Strengthen organizational cultures that support climate action
  • Integrate climate considerations into policies, systems, and everyday decisions
  • Equip trusted leaders and messengers to engage employees, members, and communities
  • Turn shared concern into meaningful, lasting organizational action

Why Organizations Matter

People spend much of their lives in workplaces, schools, and other trusted organizations. These environments influence what people value, which behaviors are encouraged, how decisions are made, and whether climate action feels relevant and possible.

Organizations can help close the gap between widespread climate concern and meaningful action. When climate leadership is reflected in an organization’s mission, culture, systems, and communication, its influence extends beyond employees to members, partners, customers, and communities far beyond the organization itself.

The report offers a framework for organizational climate action. These ecoAmerica resources can help you put that guidance into practice.
