Please join the IFC and the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines for the virtual launch of IFC’s Net Zero Roadmap to 2050 for Copper & Nickel Mining Value Chains on Monday, January 30, 2023 from 8:30am – 9:30am MT.

Please join us for the launch of IFC’s Net Zero Roadmap to 2050 for Copper & Nickel Mining Value Chains, a net zero transition guide for copper and nickel mining value chain actors. The roadmap was developed in consultation with a wide range of mining industry stakeholders, including leading mining companies such as Anglo American, Rio Tinto, BHP, and Vale; investors; OEMs; EV transport companies; and battery manufacturers, along with representatives from civil society, government, and academia.

During the launch event, we will discuss:

• The energy transition metals that are key for a global low-carbon future
• The technologies that will enable a net zero transition
• The net zero challenge for copper and nickel mining value chains

The new roadmap sets out a science-based net zero transition strategy for copper and nickel mining value chains. It highlights how mining sector actors can lower their emissions footprints, including scopes 1 and 2, and a subset of scope 3. It shows how to take advantage of the growth in demand coming from end users such as EVs, solar, wind, and storage. And it demonstrates how a net zero strategy offers opportunities to improve broader ESG impacts and performance, access sustainable finance, and contribute to a just energy transition.
