A secure, reliable supply chain for critical minerals is essential for energy transitions globally and in the United States. This event will highlight ways the United States can further enhance supply chains for the minerals fueling the energy transition and better characterize risks of supply disruption.

Under Secretary of State Jose W. Fernandez, who leads U.S. international partnerships to advance the mineral security, will provide a keynote address, followed by a brief Q&A moderated by Joseph Majkut (CSIS Energy Security & Climate Change Program).

Cullen Hendrix (PIIE) and Abigail Wulf (SAFE) will then join Jane Nakano (CSIS Energy Security & Climate Change Program) to discuss challenges in supply disruption risk-assessment, the role of commodity markets, and existing U.S. efforts to secure critical minerals.
