A recent survey shows that maintaining environmental standards adds less than 25% to operational costs, and strong ESG practices can attract more investment. Read more: resourcepanel.org/reports/financ… #Sustainability #ESG #CorporateResponsibility #SustainableDevelopment

🌍This new IRP report explores the role of financing in creating an energy transition minerals mining industry that contributes to the sustainable development of local communities, host countries, and investing countries. Read more here: resourcepanel.org/reports/financ…

Recycling e-waste isn’t just good for the planet — it also recovers critical materials for a clean energy future. Better recycling and reuse could cut mining demand by up to 10% by 2050. Read full report here: resourcepanel.org/reports/financ… #EWasteDay

Who benefits? Who bears the costs? As foreign direct investments play a significant role in the financing of minerals, It is vital to reflect on whether the benefits to the host countries of mining outweigh the costs. Read more in our new report here: resourcepanel.org/reports/financ…

Demand for metals has been increasing over the past 50 years and will continue to rise with the surge of renewable energy infrastructure. Reforming the financial system will be critical to ensure capital flows for a sustainable transition. Full report: resourcepanel.org/reports/financ…

The clean energy transition depends on minerals like lithium, cobalt and nickel, but how we mine and fund them matters. Demand for these minerals could triple by 2030 as the world shifts to renewables to reach net zero. This new report shows how finance can drive responsible mining: unep.org/news-and-stori…

📢 OUT NOW! IRP REPORT The investments made today – up to $450 billion by 2030 - shape the energy systems of tomorrow. Full report: resourcepanel.org/reports/financ… #EnergyTransition #SustainableFinance #ResponsibleMining #ClimateAction #CriticalMinerals #JustTransition #SDGs

According to the #GRO24, future mineral demand scenarios for the clean energy transition project very high increases in material demand up to 2040 or 2050. Learn more here: lnkd.in/dgCDvz2d

What is decoupling? Hint: it's like a breakup… A central concept to the hashtag#GRO24, our experts show that it is both possible and profitable to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts and resource use. Find out how: bit.ly/42VDttm

No change is without challenges. To deliver on decoupling, unsustainable patterns of resource use need to be reconfigured or replaced by sustainable modes of producing and consuming that respect the capacity of the planet, meet people’s needs, and improve human dignity.

The #GRO24 shows that differences in impacts for food provisioning systems between high and low/middle-income countries is a multiplication factor of approximately 3 and 2, for climate change and land-related biodiversity impacts, respectively.

🌍 Strengthening Global Impact: 1,188 References to the IRP in 2024 We are pleased to share that between January 1 and October 31, 2024, the International Resource Panel (IRP) was referenced 1,188 times across academia, media, policymaking, and various institutions.
