Storms from last year's Yagi to this year's Buloi and Matmo in Asia are making international investors increasingly concerned about the storm and flood resilience of countries and regions - their investment destinations.
A new report published in Science Direct has found that companies in regions with higher climate risk have lower investment performance, due to prudent investment strategies to minimize financial uncertainty. The areas affected by the storms and floods in northern Vietnam and China's Guangdong province are important links in global supply chains such as electronics, automobiles and components.
Last year’s Typhoon Yagi flooded warehouses, disrupted supplier operations, and delayed orders in many key industrial zones. Faced with complex climate changes, investors – especially manufacturing enterprises linked to global supply chains – increasingly focus on disaster resilience and production maintenance when choosing investment locations. As typhoons continue to occur, demand for investment in climate-resilient industrial infrastructure is rising sharply, especially in coastal industrial zones – home to thousands of export factories and the region’s key manufacturing hubs.
