Keynote Panel Debate: Security of Supply – Threat or Opportunity in Africa’s Metals and Minerals Sup

The mismatch between the demand and supply of minerals and metals needed to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change is projected to grow – creating risks to the global energy transition and decarbonisation of industries. The large concentration of several minerals and metals value chains – and ongoing strategies by multiple countries to secure minerals and metals needed for their economies and national securities in a resilient manner – create an opportunity for Africa to potentially grow its supply response capabilities, including for its own development needs. There are however also threats.
