Abstract
The UK’s first Critical Minerals Strategy was launched in July 2022, with a refreshed delivery approach published in March 2023. Following these publications, the Department for Business and Trade has been collaborating across Government to deliver on the aims of the Strategy, to improve the resilience of critical mineral supply chains and support UK security of supply. This session provides an overview of the Strategy and the work to deliver it, within the context of a rapidly evolving international and geopolitical landscape.
