Summary: Much of global economic production is organized around a complex system of interdependent supply chains. Supply chains facilitate the production of everything from computers and cars to lifesaving medicines and food, and support world trade in goods that are worth almost $20 trillion annually. The end to end component of the supply chain starts with agriculture and energy and extends through production, transportation, and deliver of products to the consumer/end user. Over time, these supply chains have been honed to deliver maximum efficiency and speed. But questions about supply-chain risks and resilience are now being raised in the context of acute weather events. As climate change shifts the localized frequency and severity of extreme weather, this alters the risk of global supply-chain disruptions. Special emphasis will be placed on communication of weather/climate risk to the “end user” and the flow of information to the decision-makers. Today’s panel will discuss climate risk from the perspective of supply chain planning and operations.
