What Makes Minerals and Metals ‘Critical’? Financial benefits and other key considerations for governments
Presenting guidance to help governments understand the concept of mineral criticality and take stock of related opportunities and risks.
How should governments assess and determine which minerals are critical? The answer depends on a country’s unique context and priorities. This webinar will present guidance from the Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) to help governments understand the concept of criticality and take stock of related opportunities and risks to inform strategic decision-making. The IGF will also share highlights from its in-depth research for countries seeking to optimize financial benefits from critical minerals. The session will also include expert discussants working directly on these issues.
