Kicking off the OECD - OCDE Minerals Forum 2024 The 17th edition of the Forum will reflect longstanding and emerging priorities in fostering responsible mineral supply chains, with sessions spanning often overlooked conflict risks, development minerals, policy cohesion in an evolving regulatory landscape and the role for responsible business conduct in government-to-government agreements on transition minerals. A key theme will be bridging longstanding focus areas like conflict financing risks with the opportunities for enhancing the sector’s contribution to sustainable development through the increasing strategic profile of transition minerals. If you're around, I look forward to seeing you ! If you're not in Paris, check out the agenda, many sessions are live-streamed: https://lnkd.in/eA-5FwaG Starting off with a session on Investment for sustainable minerals value chains with insights shared by IPIS - International Peace Information Service, Premicongo, Congo's Chamber of Mines and LSE IDEAS: https://lnkd.in/eyxZjWF2 #responsiblemining #responsibleinvestment #responsiblesourcing

By Dr Ross Harvey, director of research and programmes at Good Governance Africa (GGA) It is no secret that Africa is abundantly blessed with mineral resources. It is, similarly and sadly, no secret that in too many contexts on the continent, mineral wealth is correlated with underdevelopment. Global demand for copper, cobalt, lithium, titanium and every mineral you’ve not yet heard of, is going to multiply in the decades ahead. https://lnkd.in/dta3vZ8n

🌍 Exploring Africa's Role in Critical Minerals: A Path to Sustainability 🌍 This Reuters article focuses on Africa's potential as a major supplier of critical minerals, as well as its essential role in regards to technology, defense, and renewable energy industries. With the increasing need to diversify critical mineral sources and alleviate dependence on dominant players like China, Africa's critical mineral reserves hold particular significance in the current geopolitical landscape. Despite challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, there is optimism about Africa’s potential for collaboration and investment, at least according to U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary, Wally Adeyemo. Productive U.S. engagement with African governments, coupled with sustainable mining practices are crucial factors required to ensure responsible and successful mineral extraction. Initiatives like the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) aim to support private sector investment in Africa's mineral sector. The U.S. government's efforts to secure critical mineral supply chains through various initiatives emphasises the importance of collaboration with allies like Australia and Canada. In a world increasingly focused on mineral security, Africa's role cannot be overstated! #CriticalMinerals #Africa #SupplyChain #MineralSecurity #Sustainability #Investment #Niobium 🌍 https://lnkd.in/e9naqvJs
