Climate change is one of the most significant issues facing humanity. Current projections forecast increases in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. These events have the potential to cause supply chain disruption. Examples include:

• More intense rainfall events can lead to river and surface water flooding. This may result in contamination of and damage to products and assets.
• Wind, rain and heat damage to infrastructure such as roads, rail networks and energy supplies
• Heatwaves can lead to heat stress for livestock and crops, reducing overall productivity
• Coastal flooding from storm surges exacerbated by sea-level rise
• Warmer, wetter winters can impact pest and disease survival rates and distribution
• Changing rainfall patterns can have implications for water resource management

Climate resilience is the capacity to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant climate threats. We can help organisations to assess their vulnerability to climate change and extreme weather. This enables the prioritisation of actions and the implementation of adaptation plans.
