I am excited about speaking at this event on 6/28 in Brussels!
#CriticalMinerals are a major topic in #geopolitics. They underpin the #EnergyFuture, #electronics, & more. Their production occurs in complex #GlobalValueChains (#GVCs). These must become more #resilient & #sustainable.

π Improving global #trade and #GVCs means making them more #resilient and #sustainable. See Steven Beck's blog post at the Asian Development Bank for implementable policies to support this: https://blogs.adb.org/blog/global-trade-survive-it-needs-overhaul

π Monitoring of #GVCs is of the essence to enable more #cooperative decision-making. From geological availabilities, country-specific #risks for people & environment, to new #mineral uses & early #bottleneck warnings, e.g.:

A π§ #roadmap with 5 pillars for this:
π Monitoring #GVCs
π€ Defining and Strengthening #Standards
πΈ Leveraging #Fiscal Policies

ββοΈ Averting #ExportRestrictions
π Aligning #Finance

π± For more #sustainable #GVCs, a more β»οΈ #CircularEconomy is important but does not suffice. Along these #ValueChains we also need

ππ #InclusiveTransition for communities

see, e.g.: https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication/2022/Mar/IRENA_WETO_Summary_2022.pdf?la=en&hash=1DA99D3C3334C84668F5CAAE029BD9A076C10079

πͺ For more #resilient #GVCs, #diversification is key, such as in:
π¬ #technology, e.g. to respond to #BatteryMinerals availability https://pubdocs.worldbank.org/en/961711588875536384/Minerals-for-Climate-Action-The-Mineral-Intensity-of-the-Clean-Energy-Transition.pdf
π’ β‘οΈ π #upstream & β‘οΈπ’ #downstream trade partners in #mining #manufacturing #services; e.g., solar https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/64c27e00-c6cb-48f1-a8f0-082054e3ece6/Renewables2022.pdf

β― To reap the benefits of the #EnergyFuture, #resilient and #sustainable #GVCs are key. On resilience, #bottlenecks are cases in point:
πΊ #lithium carbonate: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lithium
πΊ #copper smelting: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-25/copper-mining-grows-at-last-but-now-smelters-can-t-keep-up
πΊ or in #wind: https://www.ft.com/content/29832c31-b3be-43cf-8dab-6970daa57ebb
#energyfuture #resilient #sustainable #gvcs #bottlenecks #lithium #copper #wind
I am beyond delighted that the Dutch Research Council NWO supports my research on export quality in #GVCs, which allows me to further an innovative research idea to explore consequences of globally changing supply chains. π₯³
