IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit 2023 | International Energy Agency (IEA) | 27 September 2023 | TBA , Paris, France

This events will focus on measures to promote the secure, sustainable and responsible supply of raw materials that have a central role in clean energy transitions around the world. The Summit will convene ministers from countries in the IEA family and beyond – including both large mineral producers and consumers – as well as business leaders, investors, heads of international organisations and civil society representatives.

This events comes after the IEA was given a Ministerial mandate by its member governments last year to deepen its work on critical minerals. Building on the analysis of its landmark report The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions, the Agency has launched new work streams to improve the transparency and security of critical minerals supplies. The IEA was also recently asked by G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers to provide support on critical minerals.
