Workshop 1 – Maximising Africa’s critical minerals endowment

Africa's strategic edge: Critical minerals for a global clean energy future

Working Group Sessions:

Strategic importance of critical minerals: With its rich reserves of critical minerals, like cobalt and lithium, how can the continent leverage these for sustainable growth?
Global demand and Africa's opportunity: Africa's resources and energy mix could lead in the clean energy transition. What strategies can ensure Africa maximizes this advantage?
Overcoming challenges to maximise benefits: Extraction challenges remain, from infrastructure to ESG concerns. How can Africa build investor trust while managing ESG risks?
Policy initiatives to support mineral maximisation: What role do public-private partnerships play in supporting sustainable development?
Actionable strategies and a future roadmap: Stakeholders are shaping plans to strengthen Africa's supply chain role. Which collaborations will drive long-term, sustainable growth?
