Climate change represents an existential threat, shaped by diverse factors that require the collaborative expertise of scholars across various fields and regions. In this plenary we focus on two key axes of collaboration – between disciplines, notably Management and Organization Studies and Public Administration – and across regions, notably the Global North and China. Despite the pressing need for integrative solutions, our field remains characterized by significant divides—disciplinary, methodological, and geographical—that hinder progress in tackling this global challenge. This plenary session, organized by the Public and Non-Profit (PNP) Division, aims to bridge these divides. Distinguished panelists from both Public Administration and Management fields will present conceptual frameworks and research insights that foster cross-disciplinary and cross-regional collaborations. The session will engage panelists and the audience in a critical discussion, exploring innovative approaches for advancing international comparative research to address the complexities of climate change more effectively.
