The panel “FUTURE OF RESOURCES: ARE CLEAN INDUSTRIES ACHIEVABLE?” took place at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh on October 30, 2024, during the 8th Edition of Future Investment Initiative. #FII8

Industries are challenged to adopt cleaner technologies while ensuring a reliable and fair supply of critical minerals as the world aims for a more sustainable future. In 2023, the demand for these minerals increased due to the use of clean energy technologies, with electric vehicles using the most lithium and cobalt, according to the International Energy Agency. Can this change happen responsibly, ensuring these essential resources are managed sustainably?
