The COVID-19 crisis demonstrated the vulnerability of global supply chains to systemic shocks. While the world continues to reel from the effects of the crisis, climate change threatens greater and longer-term disruptions to company operations and supply chains.
Analyzing climate risks to corporate assets and supply chain links, from hurricanes, flooding, wildfire and more, is imperative to strengthen resilience and empower our economies to envisage the opportunity to build future-proof economies.
In this webinar, the third of our Weathering Physical Climate Risk series, we will explore how climate change is impacting corporate operations and supply chains and how to build resilience, including:
Acute v. chronic climate risks affecting companies
How companies are adopting TCFD and other initiatives, as well as best practices
Analyzing physical climate risks on operations and supply chains to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities
Quantification of financial impact to inform future-proof investments and decision-making
