From car factories to aluminum smelters to textiles, the purported goal of the Trump administration is to 'reshore' American manufacturing. It’s a goal, in part, supported by his predecessor, Joe Biden, who enacted the CHIPS act to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to America. So, let's say manufacturing does come back and companies expand their current factories to meet demand. What climate-driven risks—water shortages, extreme heat, or flooding—will these sites face, and where will those hazards hit hardest? We’ll explore the answers on this episode of Sustainability Now!

U.S. manufacturing facilities face concentrated acute hazards like tornadoes and hailstorms. Our analysis of over 100,000 sites globally identifies sectors requiring targeted risk-management solutions.

Historic estimated losses from two recent hurricanes highlight the importance of understanding asset locations that face intensifying climate impacts. 

Physical risk from climate change has started to affect nearly every region of the world, from the four hottest days on record occurring in a row this month to more frequent, more intense storms. We discuss what this all may mean for companies, insurers and investors.
