        abstract = {Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to global supply chains, necessitating a paradigm shift from traditional risk management approaches to integrated resilience and sustainability frameworks. This comprehensive review examines the evolution of supply chain design models that simultaneously address climate adaptation, resilience building, and sustainability objectives. Through a systematic analysis of 60 peer-reviewed articles published between 2021-2025, this study identifies critical gaps in current research and emerging opportunities for transformative supply chain design. The review reveals that while 84% of supply chain leaders plan to invest in climate adaptation measures, only 27% have conducted comprehensive climate risk assessments. Current approaches predominantly treat resilience and sustainability as competing priorities rather than mutually reinforcing capabilities. The analysis highlights five major research gaps: integration challenges between resilience and sustainability, methodological deficits in climate adaptation frameworks, limited digital technology integration, insufficient multi-stakeholder governance models, and inadequate performance measurement systems for dual objectives. Key opportunities identified include the development of antifragile supply chain models, ecosystem partnership networks, commercial innovation capabilities, climate-technology convergence strategies, and workforce health resilience frameworks. The review concludes that future supply chain design must transcend incremental adaptations to embrace transformative approaches that build sustainability into core operations while maintaining resilience capabilities. This research contributes to the emerging discourse on adaptive supply chains and provides a roadmap for practitioners and researchers seeking to develop climate-resilient and sustainable supply chain strategies.},
