Abstract

Perception, understanding, and being engaged with climate change issues require efforts of all stakeholders, not just individuals or special interest groups, as everyone has a responsibility in this global and complex issue. However, instead of expressing all stakeholders, the segmentation of stakeholders into relevant publics with similar values, beliefs, and behaviors is a useful approach in managing and communicating environmental disclosures as there is no single application that covers all stakeholders and offers solutions for everyone. This study reviews the relevant facts and key arguments about climate change and history and analyzes how organizational commitment, environmental disclosure, and climate change communication are conceptualized in the scientific literature. Several theoretical perspectives, such as institutional theory, stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory, and situational theory, clarify the motivations of organizations to disclose information and explain their commitment to environmental performance. To bring a deeper understanding of communicative actions and develop effective communication strategies, the communication model of Harold D. Lassell has been used in conjunction with the findings of current empirical studies in the field of climate change.
