Report summary
The global mining and metals industry faces a difficult path to reach its 2050 net zero goals as companies navigate the pressure to grow supply, emerging carbon schemes, government bureaucracy and investors demanding change. 2030 is seen as in important waypoint in this journey with the next period setting the stage for a radically transformative period for the industry.
