Excellency,
It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in an International Energy Agency (IEA) High-level Meeting on
Securing Critical Minerals for a Clean Energy Future, which will be held in-person on Thursday 28 September
2023 at IEA Headquarters in Paris.
The commitment of an ever-growing number of countries and companies to achieve net zero goals calls
for a massive deployment of a wide range of clean energy technologies. This will bring major economic
and employment opportunities, but also heightens the need for reliable and sustainable supplies of the
critical minerals that are essential for the energy transition. The IEA has taken a leading role on this issue,
building on its landmark report The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions, and through new
work streams launched in response to the mandate it was given at the 2022 IEA Ministerial to deepen IEA
work on safe, sustainable, resilient, and reliable clean energy supply chains.
In this context, the IEA High-level Meeting on Securing Critical Minerals for a Clean Energy Future will
convene Ministers, business leaders, investors, international organisations and civil society to discuss the
latest developments on the subject, share their experiences and discuss measures for collectively
promoting a secure, sustainable and responsible supply of critical minerals.
I very much hope you will be able to accept this invitation and contribute to this important discussion. For
any further information and to confirm your participation, your staff may contact
[email protected].
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Fatih Birol
