With an increase of COVID-19 variants, 2022 is already a year of swift change and widespread uncertainty. As we enter this second decade of unexpected transformation, perhaps no industry is more susceptible to these fluctuations than supply chains and academia. While the latter, has weathered the storms through virtual and hybrid instruction, supply chains which are vital to business, society, and the stability of nations, still finds itself struggling to sustain itself.
Join S&P Global for an interactive discussion with experts from Panjiva and the University of North Carolina, for an in-depth analysis of the current challenges, from surging commodity pricing, ships stuck at sea, to forward-thinking and analysis for best strategies to regain balance, resilience, and better visibility for supply chain frameworks, globally.

Michael has reported on the global renewable energy industry for nearly a decade, with a focus on the intersection of clean energy and financial markets. His recent work has focused on the solar industry and green-energy supply chains. In October 2020, Michael broke news about the solar industry's dependence on China's autonomous Xinjiang region for a critical raw material and the reputational, legal and financial risks that exposure poses to some of the world’s largest companies as the U.S. moves to confront Beijing over its alleged abuses of Uighurs and other Muslim minorities there. Michael was also part of a team that investigated the investment surge into natural gas infrastructure in the U.S. in recent years and the growing risk that those assets could become stranded as the cost of cleaner alternatives continues to fall.
