A crisis is conceptually defined as an unexpected situation requiring an urgent solution. The global climate crisis is especially significant, threatening the stability and livability of the world. Building on this conceptual framework, this study aims to explore the dimensions of stakeholder interactions to highlight the need for collective efforts to combat the climate crisis. Twitter (now known as X) interactions between climate and environment ministries in OECD countries were analyzed in R using graph theory. The study found that the United States ministry was the most followed. As the largest network node, Canada acts as both a gateway and hub. As a central player, Canada receives and disseminates information and possesses a high potential for interaction. France is connected to influential nodes and is therefore a leader in the chain of influence. Germany is a strong center of stability and acts as a leader/bridge node. Norway, Spain, and Greece are considered to be peripheral nodes. Furthermore, the network had a medium-strength community structure divided into four parts. These results highlight that interactions among OECD countries are insufficient and that climate and environment ministries can facilitate global cooperation to combat the climate crisis. Strengthening nodal connections is a recommended policy step to translate these results to real-life and industry-specific contexts.
