|Forum on Critical Supply Chains – Opening remarks
The intricate networks of international flows of goods, services, capital, and technology that make up global supply chains are currently facing substantial challenges arising from geopolitical complexities and the impacts of climate change. Recent pandemic-related disruptions have revealed long-standing vulnerabilities in supply chains, especially those associated with concentration and dependence on a single economy or region for the supply of critical products, a circumstance exacerbated by recent geopolitical tensions. This Forum will discuss the complexity of supply chains and will bring together experts in key industries, think tanks, and relevant policymakers. This high-level session is open to the public.
