  • Publication number: 20230196289
    Abstract: A method and system generate news headlines from user input parameters. The user input parameters include a specified geographic region of interest and an industry of interest. Climate data and carbon emissions data for the specified geographic region of interest is retrieved. Supply chain dependencies are determined. A machine learning model is generated using the specified geographic region of interest, the industry, the climate data, the carbon emissions data, and the supply chain dependencies. The machine learning model performs an impact analysis on a supply chain based on the climate data and the carbon emissions data. The machine learning model predicts a supply chain performance for the industry based on the impact analysis. A news headline is automatically generated describing the predicted supply chain performance. The news headline includes an underlying basis for the predicted supply chain performance.
