Mining for the Energy Transition (MET): Securing a sustainable supply of critical minerals for advancing regional development

implementation

In support of global decarbonization efforts and recognizing the fundamental importance of mining to climate and sustainable development goals, this project will facilitate technical assistance to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Ecuador, to foster enabling conditions for responsible investments in critical minerals and their value chains by focusing on: (i) strengthening sector governance through robust regulatory and investment frameworks and socioenvironmental standards compliance; (ii) amplifying geological knowledge through technological innovation; (iii) building a portfolio of low-carbon and technological solutions that support sustainable mining extraction and production practices; and (iv) enhancing local development and infrastructure services in mining areas to maximize benefits, while strengthening value chains and synergies with other productive sectors. Interventions will seek to strengthen collaboration between Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Europe for a reliable and sustainable raw materials supply.
