Our economic development has been based on an unsustainable exploitation and use of natural resources. World extraction of material resources has tripled over the past 40 years and is expected to at least double with the development of emerging economies. Today, we extract and consume our planet’s resources much faster than what the Earth can renew itself. At the same time, transitioning to a low-carbon economy and energy system may increase demand for some key minerals and strategic materials.
The Veolia Institute’s 10th International Conference, held in partnership with the Oxford Martin School, offers perspectives on how to make strategic materials and mineral resources available for a sustainable future, one that is transitioning to a low-carbon economy. It will build bridges amongst those who can contribute insights and solutions, from academics and the scientific community to policy-makers, civil society leaders, business leaders, financiers and entrepreneurs, across geographies and generations.
