The impact of climate change on the lumber supply chain is becoming increasingly evident, posing significant challenges for
lumber supplier. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and unpredictable rainfall patterns can disrupt forest growth, decrease tree health, and lead to higher susceptibility to pests and diseases. These environmental shifts can cause timber shortages, affecting the availability and price of lumber. As a result, lumber suppliers may face difficulties in maintaining consistent stock, impacting both residential and commercial construction projects. Furthermore, changing climate conditions may require suppliers to adjust sourcing strategies, consider alternative wood species, and invest in sustainable forestry practices to adapt to these evolving challenges.
