Well, a much better algorithm for actually considering risk chains in logistics (though I suspect there are many to choose from already). But also likely including financial regulation to formally add risks stemming from supply and climate to accounting sheets - akin goodwill (which has it's problems), but making it a much for formalized first class entry into public company accounting is probably the only way to make a shift meaningful.

Proper use of import/export tariffs to incentivize local production and use of commodities.

Also to account for negative externalities such as worker rights, pollution and carbon emissions. Why encourage capital to move production overseas to escape how the community wants its goods to be produced?
