Climate Risks as Organizational Problems: Constructing Agency and
Action provides an introduction to the "Communication as
Constitutive of Organizations" (CCO) approach by addressing key
ideas in organizational communication such as sensemaking,
decision-making, problem-formulation, and agency. This text is
intended to introduce key ideas of the CCO perspective to
undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars who may be
new to this area. Topical chapters feature case studies related to
climate crises, the environment, and weather, making this work also
relevant for those with an interest in environmental communication,
risk communication, crisis communication, public relations, and
public health. Chapters address decision-making during the
Hurricane Katrina crisis, how a state in the southeast United
States handled a winter snowstorm, heatwaves as creeping crises in
Europe, and freshwater policy-making. The case studies provide
insight in understanding how governmental agencies "interact" with
weather crises and the public. While natural hazards are worthy of
study generally because of their impact, they are also worthy of
study from an organizational communication perspective.
Organizations such as governmental agencies, international
organizations, nonprofit organizations, and nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), among others, play a role in preparing for or
helping people to recover from natural hazards. Given that natural
hazards are ongoing yet have a degree of unpredictability,
examining how organizations respond to natural hazards provides a
fitting circumstance for studying constitutive processes.
