(Video) What Is the Connection Between Palm Oil, Climate, and Global Supply Chains?

Palm oil is a key component in everything from chocolate to toothpaste, but global production is highly concentrated, with over 80% of the world’s production coming from the neighboring countries of Malaysia and Indonesia. The geographical concentration of supply means this key agricultural commodity – and the supply chain of every company that relies on it – is extremely vulnerable to climatic or political disruption. Join us as we demonstrate new methods for monitoring climate risk to this key supply chain, and show approaches to preventing supply interruptions and forecasting potential disruptions to the companies that rely on palm oil.
