Critical minerals are essential to a low carbon economy. The International Energy Agency estimates that demand for the critical energy transition minerals will triple by 2030, and quadruple by 2040. This session will build on PRI’s work for the UN Secretary General’s Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals, to develop a set of global principles to safeguard environmental and social standards and embed justice in the energy transition.
The session aims to convey what's needed to incentivise long-term decision making in the mining industry and for mining to act as a catalyst for sustainable development. It focuses on the actions responsible investors can take, as well as what’s needed from wider stakeholders, such as companies and governments, to foster systems change.
