Business Panel

The session may address several tightly linked policy areas relevant to OECD economies: Investment and Trade for Supply Security, tandards-Based Markets and Regulatory Coherence, Secondary Sourcing, the Circular Economy and Innovation, and the Intersection of Biodiversity and National Security/Geopolitical Risk. The discussion will aim to inform, and not duplicate, non-OECD regional dialogues or general stakeholder consultations covered elsewhere in the OECD Critical Minerals Forum.
