As climate change accelerates, the frequency and severity of extreme weather events are expected to worsen and have greater adverse consequences for ecosystems, physical infrastructure, and economic activity across the world. This paper investigates how weather anomalies affect global supply chains and inflation dynamics. Using monthly data for six large and well-diversified economies (China, the Euro area, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States) over the period 1997-2021, we implement a structural vector autoregressive model and document that weather anomalies could disrupt supply chains and subsequently lead to inflationary pressures. Our results—based on high-frequency data and robust to alternative estimation methodologies—show that these effects vary across countries, depending on the severity of weather shocks and vulnerability to supply chain disruptions. The impact of weather shocks on supply chains and inflation dynamics is likely to become more pronounced with accelerating climate change that can have non-linear effects. These findings have important policy implications. Central bankers should consider the impact of weather anomalies on supply chains and inflation dynamics to prevent entrenching second-round effects and de-anchoring of inflation expectations. More directly, however, governments can invest more for climate change adaptation to strengthen critical infrastructure and thereby minimize supply chain disruptions.

There comes a time in ones life that nothing seems to make sense. My life is normal in every way. Then out of the blue my life is turned upside down. I've read a lot of books on romance, mystery and horror. A lot of them got me so involved I just didn't want to put it down. I never would have dreamed that my life would turn into a nightmare that I could not wake up from. I've read of horrible true life stories happening to other people but it never entered my mind that I would be living my own true horror story. Being in a car wreck is a horror story that no one wants to go through. When you talk of being in a car wreck the first thing that comes to your mind is pain, being out of work and of course the settlement. I didn't think of all the tests and therapy I would have to go through. I believe I can say that most people think of getting better and going back to work pain free. This was not the case for me. I had a pain that started in 1992 and has gone on for 19 years with no let up in sight. Please, read my story because you may be going through this same pain but you have never been able to put a name to it. You haven't been able to get any straight answers for these symptoms. I have and it is called Fibromyalgia. Let me know if this is okay? Linda
