Abstract :
As extreme weather impacts global supply chains, industries must keep resources moving. Global and growing, today´s supply chains form the backbones of world economies. But as international trade increases, these all-important resource networks are becoming longer, more complex and more vulnerable. Be it the flow of goods, electricity, communications or oil and gas, today´s governments, global manufacturers, aid relief organisations and insurance firms are worried sick over supply chain disruptions.
