Winning the Earths and Mines: A Path for EU-US Green Tech Investments

12/14/23 • 40 min

Transatlantic leaders and experts gather to address the state of the US-EU cooperation on critical minerals and green technologies.
Critical minerals are essential to power green technologies and combat climate change, with the global supply chain dominated by China. The US and EU aim to curb their reliance on Beijing, but risk competing against each other rather than coordinating. Is transatlantic cooperation the key to meeting the green supply chain challenge?
This event is hosted in partnership with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland to the United States.
