Climate change is posing major challenges to supply chains. This article — based on a collaborative research project conducted by the University of Maryland and supply-chain-mapping firm Resilinc — assessed the climate-related risks of 12,000 supplier sites in the United States, China that serve 100 original equipment manufacturers in the high tech, auto, and consumer goods industries. It offers advice on how OEMS can improve their resiliency to climate-related disruptions.
Science and Technology Issues in Regulating Climate-Related Disclosures
Increasing numbers of companies are providing climate-related disclosures because of concerns among investors and regulators about the potential for financial impacts from climate change. These disclosures, which are voluntary today, describe organizational actions to reduce climate impacts and provide investors with information about climate-related risks and mitigation measures. This paper focuses on science and technology issues and provides recommendations to professionals interested in working in this arena.
