Environmental Dimension
MEGATREND: CLIMATE CHANGE
TRENDS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Water, air and soil pollution
Global warming
*Each trend is represented by some of the statistics that have been collected during the first part of the project.
RISKS FOR SUPPLY CHAINS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE
The probability (P) and impact (I) of the different risks identified are categorized according to 5 degrees (very low
, low
, medium
, high
and very high
). The risks have been assessed during the project based on literature analysis and validated with support of experts.
MEGATREND: RESOURCE SCARCITY
TRENDS RELATED TO RESOURCE SCARCITY
Lack of Resources such as water, land, energy, food and rare earth element
Waste Increase
Energy Demand
Semiconductor Shortage
*Each trend is represented by some of the statistics that have been collected during the first part of the project.
RISKS FOR SUPPLY CHAINS DERIVED FROM RESOUCE SCARCITY
The probability (P) and impact (I) of the different risks identified are categorized according to 5 degrees (very low🔵, low🟢 , medium🟡, high🟠 and very high🔴). The risks have been assessed during the project based on literature analysis and validated with support of experts.
