Climate change is often described as an existential crisis calling for urgent action, yet there appears to have been relatively low levels of engagement on this issue within management scholarship. Contributors to this article, all of whom have engaged in climate action research, consider why it is that management scholars are generally choosing not to tackle this critically important challenge and argue what might be done to address this. In doing so, we provide new and alternative agendas for developing management research that will positively contribute to climate action.
