This week, we released Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 → https://t.co/V60GXCA22R

On 21 July, join the lead authors as they explore the key findings, including the latest supply, demand & investment trends and how to build secure supply chains → https://t.co/ghVF429Yxl

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

🗣️ “Vast amounts of economic value depend on relatively small volumes of critical minerals, whose supply chains remain highly concentrated & are therefore vulnerable”

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

I welcome the #G7 Leaders' Declaration on Securing Supply Chains for Critical Minerals: https://t.co/TVJ5lfKeij

Very pleased to see their recognition of @IEA’s leadership in this vital area. We stand ready to work closely with the G7 & partners to deliver tangible progress.

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

There’s a growing mismatch between rising use of rare earth elements across a wide range of technologies & the slow pace of supply diversification globally.

New projects, partnerships & policies are needed to address supply chain risks.

🗣️ "Critical mineral stockpiling can strengthen countries' economic & national security, while helping deter future export controls & limiting their impact"

More on what's needed to design effective strategic stockpiling systems for critical minerals 👉 https://t.co/M0CzI73nEJ

[Ministry of Mines @MinesMinIndia]

Shri Sandeep Vasant Kadam, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Mines, co-chaired the 2nd Joint Working Group (JWG) Meeting with the International Energy Agency (IEA). The discussions focused on key priority areas under the National Critical Minerals Mission (NCMM), where IEA’s support may strengthen India’s critical minerals initiatives.

Delighted to announce that Tae-Yoon Kim has been appointed Head of @IEA's newly established Critical Minerals Division

He has played a key role in the IEA's leadership on critical minerals analysis & supply security and will spearhead the expansion of our work in this vital area

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

New energy security vulnerabilities like critical minerals are joining traditional oil & gas risks

Geographic concentration in refining has grown for nearly all key minerals since 2020. A single country dominates refining of 19 of 20 strategic minerals 👉 https://t.co/HtK451v9Ry

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Delighted with recognition from #G7 Energy Ministers for @IEA's work across critical minerals, electricity security, AI, innovation & more: https://t.co/5gh43k9sJZ

Congratulations to 🇨🇦 Minister @timhodgsonmt for advancing multilateral cooperation & a strong partnership with IEA

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Excellent discussion with Korean Vice Minister of Climate, Energy & Environment Hohyeon Lee on the margins of the #G7 in Toronto

We spoke about how @IEA can support 🇰🇷 on meeting its energy priorities & cooperation on efforts to develop more secure critical mineral supply chains

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

🗣️ "Export controls could significantly undermine efforts to diversify rare earth & battery supply chains"

Read more on how new restrictions on critical minerals are heightening supply risks – and what it means for energy & economic security 👉 https://t.co/fFZ0yTam9v

[Tae-Yoon Kim @tae100]

With new export controls on critical minerals, supply concentration risks become stark reality. In this commentary, we explored the implications of the recent export controls on rare earth elements and battery supply chains, and where opportunities for diversification exist 👇

Critical minerals, electricity top of agenda at G7 energy meeting, IEA head says https://t.co/J9Pm75J44G

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Governments must work together on urgent action to make critical minerals supplies secure

@IEA is *the* place to do this. In the past 5 years, we've invested heavily in minerals data, analysis & security policy capacities

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Comprehensive bilateral in Seoul with Korea's Minister of Trade, Industry & Energy Kim Jung-kwan

We discussed @IEA support for 🇰🇷’s priorities including its Energy Highway to power its industrial future, the role of renewables & nuclear, and energy supply chain security

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Delighted to open the 2025 World Climate Industry Expo in Busan, Korea, in the presence of Prime Minister Kim Min-seok
@IEA is pleased to co-host this major international event on energy technology & innovation with Korea

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

🗣️ "For a remarkable 19 out of 20 of strategic minerals, China is the leading refiner"



In a new op-ed, IEA’s @fbirol highlights the importance of diversifying critical mineral supply chains to ensure energy security & economic competitiveness ⬇️ https://t.co/mTqsnkK7mE

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Critical minerals are pivotal for energy & economic security, playing significant roles across several sectors

However, rising geographical concentration across key minerals could increase vulnerability to supply shocks
