New Collaborations to Elevate Global Minerals Discussion
The Future Minerals Forum (FMF), slated for January 9-11 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has announced three strategic partnerships with CRU Group, Global AI, and Wood Mackenzie. These alliances aim to enrich the ongoing global conversation on minerals and their pivotal role in sustainable development and the imperative shift towards alternative energy sources. This adds to existing partnerships with McKinsey & Company, Payne Institute for Public Policy, Clareo-DPI, and Baker Institute.
Wood Mackenzie’s Pivotal Study
Wood Mackenzie is set to undertake a comprehensive study defining the super region’s potential. The resulting white paper will outline key drivers for sustainable value chains and illuminate challenges facing the global minerals industry in this resource-rich area. The study becomes a guide for stakeholders, providing insights into achieving collaborative goals for resource potential and facilitating the energy transition.
Global AI’s Sentiment Analysis
Global AI will conduct a sentiment analysis using cutting-edge artificial intelligence, focusing on mining and mineral operations across the Super Region. The analysis aims to uncover societal perceptions, informing discussions on the roles of governments, the private sector, and civil society in securing social license to operate and ensuring mining benefits local communities while minimizing environmental impact.
CRU’s Urgency Report
CRU’s report will emphasize the urgency of addressing critical mineral bottlenecks to meet climate goals, with a specific focus on the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia as key future suppliers. These insights align with FMF’s mission to foster sustainable mineral industries and position the Super Region at the forefront of global mineral discussions.
FMF’s Commitment to Sustainable Mineral Development
As a government-led, multi-stakeholder platform, FMF seeks to catalyze dialogue among industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders. The goal is to drive progress towards a more sustainable and prosperous future in mineral development, shaping responsible mining practices globally.
