Roundtable 1 - Unlocking the Deal: From Policy Frameworks to Bankable Projects

Benefit from the presence of government and the private sector to discuss what is needed to move to implementation by identifying the concrete financial, regulatory and commercial conditions required to make critical mineral projects investable across the full value chain, from extraction to processing, refining, recycling and industrial use. Consideration can be given to the role of public sector tools and initiatives in de-risking and enabling private sector projects; the role of cooperation between governments and the private sector and amongst governments in creating new markets and sources of supply.

Roundtable 2 - Operationalising Traceability Systems: Opportunities and Challenges

Translate the G7 Leaders’ commitment to develop harmonised, interoperable traceability frameworks into concrete, business-compatible implementation pathways. The discussion should focus on how governments, international organisations and industry can jointly design and deploy traceability systems that enhance supply security, ensure high ESG standards and avoid excessive compliance burdens.
