Climate adaptation in practice: How are companies building resilient supply chains in an era of volatility?

Plenary
Back to agenda

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s a business reality. From extreme weather and drought to flooding and volatile production landscapes, companies need to adapt to ensure food security and business continuity.

This session will explore how business can amplify supply chain resilience through innovation, technology, and strategic adaptation. We’ll move beyond the environmental impacts to focus on what’s needed for long-term business success: resilient food systems, diversified sourcing, and security for those at every stage of the supply chain.

Our expert panel will share practical insights and real-world examples on:

• How to build resilient supply chains that can withstand climate volatility
• Integrating innovation and R&D into adaptation planning and long-term business strategy
• The practical steps for future-proofing food systems to deliver security and stability

What to expect from this type of session...

Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
