Critical Minerals, International Policy and a Just Energy Transition


The growing global demand for ‘critical minerals’ has soared in recent years, with materials such as lithium, cobalt and nickel being essential in the production of many technologies in the green energy transition.

With the ‘resource rush’ accelerating, how can international policy processes promote environmental sustainability, local value addition, fair benefit sharing and respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples, local communities and small-scale producers?

This online event will explore these issues in light of international policy developments including bilateral and multilateral partnerships and trade agreements, the UN Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals and multilateral environmental diplomacy.
