UK Critical Minerals Strategy:policy paper

Modern society relies on critical minerals – from phones to wind turbines, from cars to fighter jets. A new cohort of critical minerals are becoming even more important as we seek to bolster our energy security and domestic industrial resilience – in light of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine – and as we move away from volatile, expensive fossil fuels.

‘Resilience for the future: the UK’s critical minerals strategy’ sets out the government’s plans for improving the resilience of critical minerals supply chains and increasing our security of supply.
