In August 2024, the University of Tennessee Global Supply Chain Institute released a white paper titled “Climate Change Risk and Supply Chains,” authored by Sara Hsu and colleagues. The paper addresses the increasing challenges supply chain managers face due to extreme weather events, which disrupt logistics and operations. It emphasizes the need for resilience and innovative strategies to mitigate climate risks. The Climate Change Index created by the research team aids firms in making informed location and sourcing decisions while navigating regulatory demands for transparency and sustainability in supply chain practices.
