Last year’s COP26 meetings saw many countries committing to further accelerating their decarbonization plans and strengthening emission reduction targets ahead of the timeline set out in the Paris agreement. And so with the accelerated phaseout of coal power, there will be an increased focus for the mining industry to grow supply of the battery metals and others that help to make up renewable power and other sources of clean energy like uranium and hydrogen.
This panel begins with an assessment of key takeaways from COP26 and panellists discuss whether these goals are achievable and what the requisites are to get us there.
In looking at the roles and responsibilities for managing emissions, we briefly discuss Scope 3 challenges and how to manage those. The panel also discusses the role of governments and the financial community in the energy transition.
We look at the expected demand growth that comes alongside the energy transition, which then leads into a discussion on ESG-focused funding for the industry.
As uranium is becoming increasingly topical when it comes to decarbonization and future energy systems, the panellists briefly touch on the role and outlook for uranium.
Finally, panellists give a short-term view for expectations for the coming year.
