Climate Change as a Risk Factor for Organisational Security and Supply Chain Stability

Purpose: This article aims to examine the impact of climate change on organisational security and the stability and resilience of supply chains in the context of growing environmental and economic threats.The analysis focuses on identifying key risk factors and evaluating adaptation strategies that can increase the resilience of logistics and operational systems.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is based on a critical analysis of scientific literature in the fields of management, logistics and security, as well as a review of the latest industry and international reports (IPCC, WMO, OECD, WEF, Allianz, BCI, Resilinc).An interdisciplinary approach was used, combining the perspectives of strategic management, risk management and crisis management.The research problem was formulated as follows: How does climate change affect the security of organisations and the stability of supply chains, and what management strategies can minimise the risks associated with this phenomenon?The research hypothesis assumes that climate change is a strategic risk factor that significantly destabilises the functioning of organisations and their supply chains, and effective security management requires the integration of adaptive strategies -such as diversification of sources, regionalisation of processes, digitisation of monitoring and development of organisational culture -to increase resilience and continuity of operations.Findings: The results of the analysis indicate that climate change is systemic in nature and affects all levels of an organisation's operations -from employee productivity and infrastructure security to the stability of global supply chains.The greatest threat is the focus of organisations on cost efficiency at the expense of resilience.At the same time, it has been
