Supply chains: disaster vulnerability and resilience

A new study led by the CMCC also highlights the possible effects on production and prices of agricultural commodities.

Over the decades, New Zealand has centralised its food system and increased the risk that a single regional event could reverberate nationally. But it’s not too late to diversify and increase resilience across our food supply system.

More than $122 billion of economic activity—$81 billion in international trade—is at risk from the impact of extreme climate events, according to new research from Oxford's Environmental Change Institute.

This study proposes a novel typology of adaptation to hazards—a conversion strategy as a countermeasure to manage risks in interconnected supply chains.

In this paper, the authors unpack the contested nature of legitimacy by examining the governance of TCRs in agricultural supply-chains. Stronger interconnections are changing the scope and nature of global environmental governance.

It was 20 years ago, when the SARS outbreak exposed key fragilities in the global healthcare supply chain. Yet today, nearly three years into the COVID-19 pandemic many of the same supply-chain fragilities remain.

This paper investigates the long-term (2070–2099) potential impacts of climate change on global food trade networks of three key crops: wheat, rice and maize.

Recent events have shown the impacts climate change and extreme weather events can have on communities and transportation networks. This is why the Government of Canada is taking important steps towards addressing climate change on railway infrastructure.

Hurricane damages can increase due to increasing global temperatures, caused by GHG from fossil fuels. Computer simulations of economic sectors and supply chains in the US show that the resulting economic losses can at some point not be nationally offset

Transportation systems play a critical role in maintaining supply chains for effective post-disaster recovery.
