Indeed, the characteristics of today's supply chains - their dependence on shipping and air transport, specialized inputs sourced from specific locations spread worldwide, and reduced inventories tied to just-in-time production - make them especially vulnerable to disruption from climate risks. With the goal of protecting global trade worth almost $20 trillion annually against such disruptions, supply chain executives and researchers who study global supply chains are now starting to focus on ways of increasing supply chain resilience in a world buffeted by climate change. To explore ongoing efforts to create climate-resilient supply chains, the Science and Technology for Sustainability program at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, held a two-day virtual workshop on September 27-28, 2021. %0 Book %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Whitacre, Paula %T Addressing Supply Chain and Manufacturing Challenges and Opportunities: Proceedings of a Workshop Series–in Brief %D 2022 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26593/addressing-supply-chain-and-manufacturing-challenges-and-opportunities-proceedings-of %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26593/addressing-supply-chain-and-manufacturing-challenges-and-opportunities-proceedings-of %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Industry and Labor %P 12 %X The COVID-19 pandemic escalated supply chain vulnerabilities that affect almost every sector of the economy. Identifying key vulnerabilities and developing responses to them will require the mobilization of diverse actors across the U.S. research enterprise. In October and November 2021, the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a number of virtual workshops for its membership and invited guests to discuss opportunities for enhancing U.S. approaches to addressing manufacturing and supply chain resilience, security, and sustainability challenges through partnerships and cross-sector collaboration. In convening experts and leaders from across sectors and disciplines, GUIRR provided a forum for dialogue on policy priorities for consideration by leaders across the research enterprise. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop series. %0 Book %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %A National Academy of Medicine %E Anupindi, Ravi %E Yadav, Prashant %E Jefferson, Kenisha M.P. %E Ashby, Elizabeth %T Globally Resilient Supply Chains for Seasonal and Pandemic Influenza Vaccines %@ 978-0-309-08915-9 %D 2022 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26285/globally-resilient-supply-chains-for-seasonal-and-pandemic-influenza-vaccines %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26285/globally-resilient-supply-chains-for-seasonal-and-pandemic-influenza-vaccines %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 264 %X Influenza viruses, both seasonal and pandemic, have the potential to disrupt the health and well-being of populations around the world. The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and prior public health emergencies of international concern illustrate the importance of global preparedness and coordination among governments, academia, scientists, policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and the public to address the threat of pandemic influenza. These health emergencies have revealed opportunities to enhance global vaccine infrastructure, manufacturing, distribution, and administration. Globally Resilient Supply Chains for Seasonal and Pandemic Influenza Vaccines outlines key findings and recommendations to bolster vaccine distribution, manufacturing, and supply chains for future seasonal and pandemic influenza events. This report addresses the challenges of manufacturing and distributing vaccines for both seasonal and pandemic influenza, highlighting the critical components of vaccine manufacturing and distribution and offering recommendations that would address gaps in the current global vaccine infrastructure.
