Climate mitigation targets require investment in clean energy at a massive scale, and critical minerals are key inputs to building the equipment that will enable this investment. As such, demand for critical minerals is rising quickly and investment in new production and processing capability must scale dramatically to stay on track for meeting climate targets. Investment partnerships between public and private institutions can catalyze investment in infrastructure required to meet future critical minerals demand, and ultimately yield greater qualities of private sector finance. The US International Development Finance Corporation's (DFC) relationship with TechMet is a strong example of the growing opportunity for governments to partner with companies to achieve common goals and meet the need for these key resources. DFC is committed to ensuring that critical minerals investments manage environmental and social risks and deliver positive development benefits for the countries where it works. How can this model be replicated by DFC and others?
