As countries seek to accelerate the energy transition while strengthening economic resilience, critical minerals have become central to future investment strategies. Growing demand across critical mineral value chains is creating new investment opportunities for mineral-producing developing countries to move beyond extraction and capture greater value from their resources. This plenary will discuss how governments, investors and industry can work together to mobilize investment that supports transparent, diversified and sustainable mineral value chains, strengthens downstream industries and contributes to global sustainable development.
