One of the dire concequences of innovation is rapid reaction to developments and changes in the environment, and this depends on the managers’ ability to reflect on the changes in the environment and various aspects of business. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of threat-oriented interpretation in climate changes on innovation and its dimensions (behavioral innovation, product innovation, process innovation, market innovation, and strategic innovation). Statistical population of this research consists of executives who belong to chemical and petroleum industries listed on the stock exchange. The data was collected using questionnaires from 79 companies. Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) methods were employedto analyze the data. The results showed that the threat-oriented interpretation in climate change has no direct effect on innovation. However, it indirectly and negatively affects innovation. The innovation capacity generally mediates this relationship.
