Palabra Clave – Reopening of Call for Papers – Special Issue “Communication, Climate Change and the 2030 Agenda”
Dear committee members, readers, reviewers, researchers, authors, and users,
Palabra Clave invites you to the Call for Papers for the special issue “Communication, Climate Change and the 2030 Agenda,” which reopens its call for manuscript submissions.
This special issue aims to generate dialogue, produce shared knowledge, and strengthen collaborative relationships among Latin American researchers, academics, professionals, and graduate students who study organizational communication in connection with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate change, and territorialities.
The United Nations 2030 Agenda constitutes a global agreement involving multiple social actors and reveals persistent tensions between public and private interests, as well as economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Companies, public organizations, and social movements assume leadership roles in addressing structural contradictions and gaps in information, knowledge, and action, while seeking to mitigate and reverse the impacts already generated on the planet. In this context, social transformation requires ethical, responsible, and committed organizational communication.
The special issue welcomes theoretical and empirical contributions addressing, among others, the following themes:
Organizational communication and the SDGs
– Responsibility of organizational communication regarding the SDGs.
– Strategic integration of the SDGs into organizational communication.
– Transparency and accountability in SDG-related communication.
– Communication innovation for SDG awareness.
– Ethical challenges in communicating the SDGs.
– Measurement and evaluation of communication impact on sustainability.
Communicating climate change
– Narratives, misinformation, and information literacy on climate change.
– Climate communication strategies and tactics.
– Technological innovation and environmental communication.
– Citizen participation, activism, and social mobilization.
– Ethics and responsibility in climate change communication.
Sustainability, populations, and territorialities
– Sustainability, bioregions, and demographic dynamics.
– Territories, physical and virtual borders, and social relations.
– Empowerment for urban and rural sustainability.
– Community participation and sustainable development.
– Innovation and sustainable technologies in specific territories.
Article submission period: February 16–27, 2026.
