COP29: The Global Council for Responsible Transition Minerals Releases its First Interim Report

The Global Council for Responsible Transition Minerals, an independent international initiative hosted by the Paris Peace Forum, launched its first interim report on Wednesday, 13th November at COP29.

The report's release featured an engaging session moderated by Philippe Varin, President of the International Chamber of Commerce, with participation from Izabella Teixeira, Co-Chair of the International Resource Panel, Kandeh Yumkella, former Director-General of UNIDO, and Solange Harpham, Head of the initiative’s Secretariat.

The report, adopted during the 7th Edition of the Paris Peace Forum, less than six months after the Council’s creation, presents seven key recommendations, including the integration of climate, industrial, and mineral-focused multilateral dialogues; the creation of a centralized data repository; and the development of strategies to enhance value creation in developing countries while addressing risks and accelerating financing for responsible mining and refining projects.
