As countries rush to secure access to critical materials - including cobalt - essential minerals are, more than ever, at the top of the world's agenda. With the national security, economic growth & energy transition hinging on secure, responsible & equitable access to these materials, the need for a coordinated response across industry, policy, & finance has never been more urgent.
Without a clear convergence between market signals, policy frameworks, & technological innovation, we risk deepening global inequalities, delaying decarbonisation, & undermining supply chain resilience. We must act urgently to ensure that critical minerals achieve their economic, industrial & energy transition potential.
In this context, Cobalt Institute is convening a high-level event during the New York Climate week, to explore the intersection of demand, policy, & innovation in shaping a sustainable & just future for critical minerals.
This event will provide a platform to:
Outline long-term demand trajectories & material needs through to 2050, in the context of global climate goals, the energy transition, & the drive toward net-zero emissions
Analyse geopolitical & financial factors impacting critical mineral supply chains, with a focus on how to secure access while supporting climate resilience & sustainable development
Highlight breakthrough technologies & AI-driven solutions that enable traceability, efficiency, & emissions reduction across the supply chain
Build strategic dialogue among stakeholders-governments, industry, finance, & civil society-to align efforts toward a just & climate-aligned mineral economy
Inspire solutions that bridge innovation, investment, & policy, accelerating the deployment of critical minerals in support of clean energy systems, decarbonisation, & a net-zero future
Special emphasis will be placed on cobalt-a material critical to the automotive, electronics, defence, & healthcare sectors - & its unique position in the global sustainability conversation.
