When faced with fuel shortages in the past, Central Asian governments could always count on additional supplies from Moscow. That safety net no longer exists.

Decision Making and Climate Security for Business
A discussion of how business can incorporate climate risks assessments and resiliency into its planning and investments in its supply chain, workforce, and infrastructure.
Published on Jan 27, 2016

SSF and Arizona State University’s Global Security Initiative had their fourth webinar in the five-part series on Global Climate Security. This webinar examined how business is valuing climate impacts. To view the earlier webinar videos, go to the Security and Sustainability Forum archives.
Independent of government planning and preparedness for resiliency, business has decisions to make in terms of infrastructure and supply chain dependability. The first is a local issue, but the second is a global one, especially for international companies. Concerns are likely different depending on location and the inputs to development of goods and services. The webinar focused on how business can incorporate climate risks assessments and resiliency into its planning and investments in its supply chain, workforce and infrastructure.
This webinar was originally hosted by the Security and Sustainability Forum.
