Strategic metals and materials are often relatively rare or difficult to access, unevenly distributed around the world, but globally indispensable for strategic industrial uses, in particular the decarbonisation of energy in all its industrial and environmental applications.
The current geopolitical conflicts only amplify the importance of this theme, as these materials are essential to the life of a State and their lack leads to significant negative industrial and economic impacts, linked to difficult supply or exploitation.
