This live, in-person event in New York City on October 16th will examine the critical role North America is playing in enabling a robust critical minerals and rare earths supply chain for Western nations as part of an integrated energy security and resource strategy.
Used in everything from consumer electronics to clean tech to advanced military hardware, critical minerals and rare earths are building blocks of the modern economy—and are essential to the global energy transition and national security. But with China’s established processing dominance and recent export curbs, the precarity of the Western world’s supply of these fundamental inputs has finally struck home.
In response, Western nations have embarked on a major push to secure their critical minerals and rare earths supply chains. Yet their complexity, and the advanced processing capabilities involved, pose significant challenges for even the largest, most advanced economies. At this critical junction, coordinated cross‑sectoral efforts and collaboration between like‑minded countries are essential.
