The Weiser Diplomacy Center will host an engaging conversation featuring Boubacar Bocoum and Ambassador Susan D. Page.
About the Event:
As the global demand for critical minerals surges, competition over these essential resources has intensified, reshaping international relations and economic strategies. The Geopolitics of Critical Minerals: Balancing Security, Sustainability, and Shared Growth will explore the complex dynamics of resource control, environmental and social responsibility, and geopolitical power struggles. With countries like Ukraine, Chile, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among others, at the center of these tensions, nations must navigate the challenges of securing supply chains while ensuring responsible mineral management which supports the economic development of host countries.
Moderated by Ambassador Susan D. Page, a distinguished expert in international diplomacy, this discussion will examine how global powers and local governments balance economic ambitions, security imperatives, and sustainability goals. Join us for an insightful conversation on the future of critical minerals and the evolving strategies shaping their extraction, trade, and governance.
