How firms adapt supply chains to climate risk
Amidst growing climate risks, localised weather events such as floods or droughts pose a threat to the links between firms and their suppliers. Using data from India, this article analyses how businesses adapt their sourcing strategies to mitigate climate risks, and the broader economic implications of their responses. It finds that while supply chain diversification by firms enhances economic stability, it may deepen regional disparities.
