CLIMATE CHANGE AND VULNERABILITY AND RESILIENCE OF MANUFACTURING SUPPLY CHAINS IN NIGERIA
Keywords:
Climate change, vulnerability, resilience, manufacturing supply chainsAbstract
Climate change is a pressing global issue with far-reaching implications for various sectors, including manufacturing supply chains. Given the Nigeria diverse geographic and socioeconomic landscape, understanding the presence or absence of cross-sectional dependence within the manufacturing sector will be crucial for implementing effective policy measures and business strategies. Hence, the main objective of this study it to investigate the impact of climate change on manufacturing supply chains in Nigeria using the survey research design. The sample comprised 320 employees and other stakeholders in the manufacturing industry selected through the stratified sampling technique. Instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested by means of simple linear regression analysis at the .05 level of significance. Results revealed that climate change has a significant impact on the vulnerability of manufacturing supply chains (β = 0.263, t = 13.268, p <.05) and climate change has a significant impact on the resilience of manufacturing supply chains in Nigeria (β = -0.227, t = -11.469, p < .05). Based on these findings, it was concluded that climate change significantly impacts the vulnerability and resilience of manufacturing supply chains in Nigeria, with a positive relationship to vulnerability and a negative relationship to resilience. It was subsequently recommended, among others, that the management of manufacturing supply chains in Nigeria should proactively develop and implement climate change adaptation strategies such as conducting vulnerability assessments to identify specific risks and vulnerabilities posed by climate change.
