Both the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's unprovoked, unjustifiable, and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine have exposed pressure points in supply chains. Some of these points are known; many have yet to be better understood. Countries and firms alike are now reflecting on how to build-up greater supply chain resilience. This OECD Forum virtual event will aim to support these important efforts by allowing for a strategic and solution-oriented discussion between leading stakeholders, to explore how we may best continue harnessing the benefits of globalisation, whilst better addressing its risks.
