Country: Japan
Delegate Name: Isabella Frederick
In recent years, with the Russian Federation and Ukraine crisis, COVID-19, and various other reasons for inefficiency, the supply chain has been under a severe threat. Many things have the capability of creating instability in the supply chain. Natural disasters and an inability to keep up with demands has also added onto this unfortunate stability of the supply chain. Along with this, globalization has created a global economy that would suffer greatly from this supply chain instability which could have effects worldwide both economically and socially.
Japan is deeply concerned about the ability for this to affect people globally. and believes that it is essential this issue is dealt with immediately. Japan is currently involved and investing in infrastructure and technology that can reduce the risks, effects, and insufficiency of the supply chain. Japan also supports the United Nations in their efforts to promote supply chain stability as well. Japan is committed to finding a way to resolve these issues as soon as possible as this is a great threat to economies across the world. Although many economies could survive this supply chain instability, there are many nations who could not survive this sort of event. Japan plans on also continuing to be involved in programs that have a direct, positive impact on the supply chain and its ability to function.
To address these challenges Japan wishes to seek various ways that the supply chain can be stabilized through investing in infrastructure and technology that directly improves supply chain conditions. Along with this Japan wants to promote behaviors that improve the supply chain as well through digital platforms and networks. Disruptions to global supply chains have become a greater and greater risk throughout recent years and Japan believes that it is time for this to be resolved.
