- The U.S.-China Trade War and the COVID-19 pandemic introduced volatile fluctuations to the global economy.
- Rising raw material costs from market fluctuations, costs from changing suppliers, and disrupted supplies
- Disrupted water supplies from reduced rainfall caused by climate change; impacts the supply chain and disrupts production capacity
- Increased energy use, costs, and carbon emissions from rising temperatures
