Key arguments

Climate-related events are becoming a more impactful part of supply chain risk alongside geopolitics.
Supply chain resilience is not a standalone category under frameworks like ICMA's Green Bond Principles, limiting labelled sustainable finance.
Banks can look beyond labelled debt to supply chain resilience finance, climate tech finance, and blended finance.
Corporates can enhance resilience by diversifying suppliers, building inventory, and investing in adaptation solutions.

Key numbers

Rhine River water level: record low since 1880 (August 2026)
Trade finance share of global trade: around 90%
El Niño forecast: "very strong" next year

Main risks

Companies may not acknowledge the financial materiality of supply chain climate risks.
Scaling sustainable finance for resilience is challenging due to lack of dedicated category.
Some resilience technologies and projects are too risky for commercial banks to finance alone.
