Panel Discussion on Climate Linked Economics: Navigating Climate Risks in the Global Supply Chain

Extreme weather and climate patterns have a profound impact on the global supply chain. This is evident both in the U.S. and on an international scale. Increasing disruptions at ports, cargo airports, intermodal hubs, shipping routes, and road/rail lanes have been observed over the past decades. These disruptions carry global consequences, leading to financial losses for businesses and delays in product delivery to consumers. The forthcoming panel will discuss the implications of weather and climate on the supply chain, examine how companies are mitigating risks, investigate the technologies in use, and contemplate prospective changes.

Moderator: Jon Davis, Chief Meteorologist at Everstream Analytics

Invited speakers include:

- Adam Turchioe, Former Chief Meteorologist at Cargill, Meteorologist at Hartree Partners
