Circular Resources for the Renewable Transition


What resources are needed for the renewable transition? Will we have enough of the critical materials needed? How many new mines can nature sustain in order to produce these materials, and how much can be produced from recycled materials?

This session is about mapping what we know about the actions needed for the transition. How can nature-positive business models in this sector be achieved? How do we prioritise the use of these crucial materials?
