Abstract

The vulnerability of global value chains is in the spotlight due to recent geopolitical tensions and shocks with a worldwide impact. Vulnerability in trade terms is often linked to distance from the suppliers, high concentration of imports, or not-shared values, implying several logistic risks. As a result, economies seeking higher resilience in their value chains are considering new sourcing strategies, like backshoring or nearshoring. Such trade-restructuring schemes need to consider sustainability to be effectively resilient, but, at the same time, they are drivers of changes in global carbon emissions.
