Abstract
In recent years, there has been a spate of partnership agreements springing up between countries that produce key transition minerals and those that wish to buy them. Yet a distinct lack of transparency means that many questions remain. This session will provide a space to discuss what we know – and don’t know – about these partnerships so far, including their overall purpose and value for lower and middle-income countries.
