Following the release of the Panel's report Resourcing the Energy Transition – Principles to Guide Critical Energy Transition Minerals Towards Equity and Justice last month, the United Nations is consulting widely with Member States and other relevant stakeholders on the findings. The Member State briefing is an opportunity for delegations to provide feedback on the Panel's work and help inform next steps. The Secretary-General established the Panel in April 2024 in response to calls from developing countries amid signs that the energy transition could reproduce and amplify inequalities of the past and to identify ways to ground the renewables-based energy transition in justice and equity, safeguarding human rights and protecting the environment. At the conclusion of their work, the Panel recommended seven guiding principles and five actionable recommendations to embed justice and equity in critical mineral value chains.
