Excited to represent Norway and Eksfin - Export Finance Norway Finance Norway (Eksfin) at the MINVEST / MSP Finance conference in New York on September 23, 2024. The Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) is vital for strengthening critical mineral supply chains, fundamental to green and digital transitions. This collaboration exemplifies value diplomacy, promoting high ESG standards globally and ensuring that sustainability isn't compromised for short-term gains. Norway's role in this partnership is growing. As one of Europe's most mineral-rich nations, we aim to contribute to European strategic autonomy in critical minerals, leveraging our robust framework for social and environmental sustainability. Eager to engage in discussions on sustainable development and responsible resource management, showcasing Norway's potential in shaping a responsible European mineral industry.

Great analysis here from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, with some key issues identified and some commonsense solutions provided.   If industrialised nations are to assure their #criticalminerals supply chains and if Australia is to reap the economic benefits, they must move quickly to ensure greater policy harmonisation between partners. That alignment is not merely a matter of regulatory conformity but a strategic imperative.   Cooperation and coordination with our international partners is the key to unlocking the funding necessary to develop our critical minerals industry at pace. We are already falling behind other nations that see the seriousness of the problem and are providing incentives and capital to develop project that are critical, not only for the renewable #energytransition but for most of the things we take for granted in our lives. Without these critical minerals being mined we risk losing our comfortable way of life. #vanadium #investmentopportunity https://lnkd.in/gpQAgMNK

How does U.S. critical mineral security impact sustainability? Explore the role of critical minerals in the clean energy transition in Building Critical Mineral Security for a Sustainable Future, a one-day course designed to explore the complexities of securing essential resources crucial for national, economic, and energy security. Join us on October 29, 2024 at CSIS Headquarters or virtually, for an expert-led examination of the challenges and strategies involved in managing critical minerals. Learn about the United States' reliance on critical minerals, the risks associated with this dependence, and the future outlook for sustainability. Engage with experts through dynamic sessions and interactive seminars, covering topics such as policy efforts, international cooperation, responsible mining practices, and future trends in mineral supply and demand. Register by October 15 to secure your spot. To register, visit cs.is/criticalminerals. #energy #minerals #criticalminerals #security #sustainability #energytransition

As the global #energy landscape undergoes transformation, there is an urgent need for substantial mineral resources to drive the shift to cleaner energy sources.   In their latest research, our economists Greetje Frankena and Dana Bodnar delve into the crucial role that Latin America and the Caribbean (LACs) can play in this context. They highlight how the region's abundant mineral reserves offer a promising opportunity for bolstering the security and diversification of critical mineral #supplychains – a strategic priority for the #US and #Europe aiming to reduce reliance on #China for mineral processing activities. However, they point out the crucial importance of socially and environmentally responsible practices for effectively exploiting LAC's vast mineral resources. Without such practices, the potential benefits could be undermined by negative #environmental and social impacts.   Read the full report via https://lnkd.in/dq3AmhN3   #sustainablemining #energytransition #caribbeanbusiness #export #mineralresources #financingsolutions

The move to low-carbon technology and technological developments is spurring global demand for critical minerals – leading to predictions of long-term shortages of minerals that are essential components for clean energy and other green technologies. https://bityl.co/PGTg

EU sets Critical Mineral goals, but faces struggle to hit them The European Union (EU) sets ambitious targets for securing crucial minerals vital for its green transition. However, obstacles like insufficient funding, soaring energy costs, and local opposition threaten these goals. The Critical Raw Materials Alliance (CRMA), coming into effect in early 2024, aims to mine, recycle, and process key materials by 2030, essential for green technology production. Yet...

Hot off the press: I recommend you read this excellent article published today in "Renew Economy", by colleagues at Norton Rose Fulbright, on the growing supply / demand squeeze on critical minerals ("critical" to global energy transition plans), with a concise summary of the steps currently being taken by various governments to ensure they are not left short of these important building blocks ...

As two days of meetings begin at the UN City buildings in Copenhagen of the United Nations Secretary General's Advisory Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals it is quite clear there is no global climate transition without minerals and mining. Whether its copper for electrification or minerals for batteries... But how these minerals are extracted and whether mineral rich countries and their people, especially those from developing and emerging economies, properly benefit is key to the just energy transition. And when we talk of mining it is both large scale mining and artisanal and small scale mining. Key will be if in decades to come will we be able look back and see this moment as the catalyst for a positive legacy having created a real tangible lasting sustainable economic benefit for communities of mineral rich countries or if it will be a legacy of negative social and environmental impacts. I am quite clear it can be the positive - but it will come in partnerships between governments, industry, investors and other key stakeholders. As the investor representative of the Principles for Responsible Investment on the Secretary General's Advisory Panel, I am keen to ensure that the role of investors and the wider finance sector is recognised and positioned to ensure we play our part. Fresh from two days of deliberations last week of the Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030 and the inputs of colleagues across PRI, especially, Rebecca Chapman Rémi Fernandez and Nathan Fabian as well as inputs from Rory Sullivan and Gemma James I am looking forward to where we will be able to land. The Panel has an ambitious timeline to report to the Secretary General by mid September. As part of the process I hope that following these two days we will be able, through the PRI and the Global Investor Commission, to engage with the wider investor community on the emerging direction of the Panel. #mining #criticalminerals #extraction #miningcompanies
