Business supply chains involve a web of third parties, including product distributors, service providers, manufacturers, contractors, and logistics firms that store and move materials.  All of them are dependent on their own infrastructure, transportation and supply networks.  When climate change or extreme weather impacts a part of your supply chain, the domino effect can ultimately impact your ability to provide products and services to your customers.

The panel of experts will include both researchers and local businesses working to understand the risks and adapt to the new normal of supply chain management.
