Abstract: Scholars and practitioners have long acknowledged the impact of climate change on businesses, operations, and supply chains. Nevertheless, there is still scant research on the role of Big Data and Analytics (BDA) in addressing these challenges but also opportunities created by Climate Change for operations and supply chains as they strive to become more sustainable. We address this gap in this opinion paper by identifying and discussing how these challenges and opportunities can be better pursued. We then propose thematic foci that future research on BDA and climate change could follow to facilitate the transition to a sustainable future.
