The organisational climate stands between the HRM and the perceptions, attitudes and individuals’ behaviour like trust, commitment and job satisfaction which define the concept of sustainable intra-organisational relationships and echo dimensions of sustainable inter-organisational relationships. Hence, the organisational climate qualifies as one of the main variables explaining the relations between macro (organisation, departments, function) and micro (groups, team works, members) level of exploration linked with sustainability. Again, some studies also provide managers with a useful tool for evaluating the climate of the organisation and the quality of relations with its members in direction towards sustainability.
Lot is related to leadership styles used in the company.
Also the personalities of the people and the culture in the specific country the organization works, will definitely have an effect to organizational climate.
But what do you actually mean with this question.
Do you refer to climate (which might be changing quite fast) or the organizational culture, which usually takes lot more time to change.

Organizational climate is created through the positive or negative feelings of members of an organization towards the ways in which their respective organizations function.
As an example, an organization may make it very difficult for its employees to take leave or to make mileage claims, which will have negative impacts such as high absenteeism, high turnover or a bad image of the organization. Of course, the organizstion could expedite leave approvals or mileage claims, contributing to positive feelings among its employees.
Leadership styles and company policies will sustain the climate.
It is the leaders who create the climate and it happens quickly based on their values and how they behave. It is the foundation for creating a performance enhancing culture that is caring, ethical and sustainable - or the opposite!!
This is covered in detail in Chapter 10 of "Leading Beyond the Ego" https://www.leadershapeglobal.com/lbte
Most critical for today's sophisticated and knowledge-based organizations is high trust culture in which employees of all ranks are empowered to solve problems and innovate. High-trust culture shape high-moral phronetic leaders who model trustworthiness and dedication to the organizational cause while “search continuously to exercise practical/prudent judgments (or wisdom) when being purposeful in defining and pursuing… objectives.” See my attached short paper and my attached article.
Organizational climate comes from the top down and requires leadership to tap into their own emotional intelligence if they want to set a sustaining culture for the environment. More specifically, they need to understand their own leadership skills and abilities. They need to be willing to accept challenges and the idea that they may not have all the answers. Leadership should look to those employees that are bold enough to step out of their own comfort zones and offer ways to improve the organization. Good leaders listen to other's ideas, put great ideas into action and give credit (ownership) to the right people. THIS is what changes organizational climate.
The influence of the formal leader on the culture is well-documented. Trust is the key ingredient for a positive organizational culture.
See, for example: Kathleen Ellis & Pamela Shockley‐Zalabak (2001) Trust in top management and immediate supervisor: The relationship to satisfaction, perceived organizational effectiveness, and information receiving, Communication Quarterly, 49:4, 382-398, DOI: 10.1080/01463370109385637
In order to create a positive organizational climate and to sustain it is required to
Through organizational culture, a balanced organizational climate can be created
The sustainable organizational climate is an organizational culture, above all. This culture is divided into two types, the first is inherent through the characteristics that some employees enjoy, such as the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurial orientation, as well as organizational flexibility. As for the second, it is acquired through enabling employees to gain renewed knowledge through leadership methods. Transformational addition to readiness for renewal
An Organitation sustentable is that as your activities as its processes are led for its stakeholders. Iy is that planning with their stakeholders, they were able to establish better guarantee sustainable results (economic, éthical, legal, philanthropic or Good living)
The culture of an organisation are based upon values explicit or implicit. There are in my opinion 4 sets of values for 21st Century success. Care More, Simplify, Can-Do and Legacy. Leadership is also key since leaders behaviour particularly in a time of crisis creates culture. Permission to make mistakes and learn is vital for innovation and success.

Leadership effectiveness may create good organizational climate, though for sustaining, good governance will also be needed.
The level of engagement with all stakeholders within and outside the organisation determines the climatic conditions of the organisation.
Organizational climate is a concept perceived by employees. Importantly, it is dependent on a value judgment which can vary greatly from employee to employee.
The most important way to create or improve the organizational climate is to make reconciliation between work and private goals. Communication is the basic pillar of any organization and one of the main areas for improvement.
Recognition in the working environment also, can take place through a number of people: a direct supervisor, the general management of the company, colleagues, or even customers.
Organizational climate is primarily a function of cultures, both organizational and contextual cultures, it perceived by all who engage organizational functioning, not just employees, and is primarily impacted by organizational success in achieving both common and private goals of actors. Chaudhry is right concerning leadership and governance's roles while Gabadin exaggerates the role of non-organizational stakeholders' impact which is mediated by locals' reactions and especially by that of local leadership which as Judeh wrote, have to reconcile "between work and private goals". Such reconciliation can achieve only high-moral leaders who shape high-trust cultures by vulnerable involvement in followers' deliberations, listen to them, encourage creative problem-solving and innovation and empower implementors. See my attached works.
Organizational climat is often determined by the firms culture, identity and value system, however these are not the only variables that influence the climat there some individual factors that interact with the previously cited variables like personality, emotioan homeostasis. for futher ideas I recomand you theses two articles dow belwo :

Örgütsel iklim, öncelikle hem örgütsel hem de bağlamsal kültürlerin bir işlevidir, sadece çalışanlar değil, örgütsel işleyişte bulunan herkes tarafından algılanır ve öncelikle aktörlerin hem ortak hem de özel hedeflerine ulaşmada örgütsel başarıdan etkilenir. iş ve özel hedefler arasında uzlaşmak zorunda olduğu yerel liderlik etkisi üzerindeki etkisinin rolünü abartıyor. Böyle bir uzlaşma, yalnızca takipçilerinin müzakerelerine savunmasız katılımla yüksek güven kültürlerini şekillendiren, onları dinleyen, yaratıcı problem çözmeyi ve yeniliği teşvik eden ve uygulayıcıları güçlendiren yüksek ahlaki liderlere ulaşabilir.

Fatih Dedemen The most important way to create or develop the organizational climate is to reach a compromise between business and specific goals. Communication is the main pillar of any organization and is one of the main areas of improvement.
It depends on the model of organization management used, on the effectiveness of employees' cooperation in project and task teams, on the quality of the reality between management and employees, etc.

I would like to add a few words to the interesting discussion above. Building and improving a good organizational climate is a key issue for the effective development of a complex organization in which there are many people, associates forming specific teams, operating at specific, various levels and departments of employees of a specific business entity or institution. For the effective functioning and / or development of a specific organization, it is necessary to maintain a good organizational climate through continuous improvement consisting in improving implemented processes, improving organization management, including personnel management, adapting the company's organization to changing environmental conditions and / or new markets for which the business entity enters with its offer.

Organizational climate is the perception that employees have of their workplace. This perception is influenced by the personality of your organization, that is to say a set of characteristics which describe an organization and which distinguishes it from others and influences the behaviors and attitudes of these members.
Several factors or indicators can be analyzed to better understand the health of your business. Analysis of the organizational climate is still seen as a fairly recent practice in the field of human resources management and it is unfortunately too often neglected by business managers.
To create and maintain an organizational climate, it is important to know the perception of your employees, among other things on the work atmosphere, workload, relations with colleagues, supervision, etc. All of its indicators must first be dealt with individually, and then analyzed together to assess the interactions and determine the causal factors. To this, we can add group meetings, individual meetings.
Management is an art and science. The efficient manager knows how deal with skills and a good leader can share and delegate his power to make every program participatory. Of course the quality service should be ensured to make it sustainable.
Ilyas, organisational climate (OC) is facilitated and maintained by the experiences and cultural artefacts that people develop over time within firms (see Cameron & Quinn, 2011). However, such facilitation and sustenance can partly be highlighted and, sometimes, even disrupted if/when different values compete against each other from a range of individuals and collectives in organisational settings. Interesting debate and discussion here.
It is a practice. A true practice at the aim of delivering tailored value to the recipients.
Through transfer of learning within the organization like communities of practice, leadership townhalls, conversations with impactful people in organizations.
my recent research on culture forming mechanisms, could be relevant
Nowak, Radoslaw. "Developing serving culture: focus on workplace empowerment." Employee Relations: The International Journal (2019).
Leaders are the prime shapers of organizational climates and cultures. Employees' empowerment is one of their strategies for shaping a high-trust climate; no less important is own modeling of humility and trustworthiness by vulnerable involvement in subordinates deliberations. See my attached book and submitted-for-publication article.
