In May 2021, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has issued a report, the Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions, which analyzes the complex links between these minerals, energy security, and the prospects for a sustainable, sequential yet rapid transformation of the energy sector. The report was informed by extensive consultation with partners, including the IGF.
On June 2, 2021 the IEA and IGF co-hosted a webinar to discuss the important issues identified in the IEA’s report, including:
- Mineral demand implications of a rapid shift to clean energy technologies
- Far-reaching implications for the metals and mining sector
- The global shortfall in mineral supply and investment for energy transformation
- International coordination and due diligence
