UN launches energy transition minerals scheme for Nigeria, five other countries

The United Nations has launched a new support mechanism to help Nigeria and five other resource-rich developing countries build sustainable and responsible value chains for critical energy transition minerals. Antonio Guterres, UN secretary-general, announced the Country Support Mechanism on Critical Energy Transition Minerals on Wednesday in New York. Nigeria, Guinea, Indonesia, Madagascar, Zambia and Zimbabwe will be the first countries to receive dedicated support under the initiative. Guterres said the mechanism would help ensure that countries supplying minerals needed for the global energy transition benefit from their resources. “The countries that hold the critical minerals powering the energy transition must be the first to benefit from them,” he said. “With Guinea, Indonesia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe as our first partners, the Country Support Mechanism puts equity and justice into practice – to turn mineral wealth into jobs and prosperity at home.” Critical minerals such as lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements are key components of clean energy technologies, including electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels and wind turbines. The UN said demand for critical minerals is expected to nearly triple by 2030 as countries shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy and pursue net-zero emissions. The UN said rising demand could provide resource-rich developing countries with opportunities to diversify their economies, expand local value addition and industrialise while creating jobs. However, the UN warned that weak governance and irresponsible extraction could leave resource-rich communities bearing environmental and human costs without receiving significant economic benefits. The new mechanism is expected to provide coordinated technical and capacity-building support to help the six countries address these challenges. Led by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Development Coordination Office, the mechanism will draw on expertise across the UN system and work with countries through UN resident offices. Support will focus on governance, value addition, industrial development, environmental protection and human rights safeguards. Alexander de Croo, UNDP administrator, said critical minerals could help countries diversify and transform their economies if value creation, environmental protection and good governance were pursued together. Inger Andersen, UN Environment Programme executive director, said the agency would support efforts to protect environmental integrity, promote circularity and strengthen livelihoods. Pedro Manuel Moreno, deputy secretary-general and acting secretary-general of the UN Conference on Trade and Development, said the initiative would help resource-rich developing countries move beyond being raw-material exporters. “For too long, the global economy has left resource-rich developing countries as raw material exporters rather than industrial partners,” Moreno said. The mechanism is part of the broader work of the UN Task Force on Critical Energy Transition Minerals, which is co-led by UNDP, UNCTAD and UNEP. The task force is coordinating UN efforts to implement recommendations from Guterres’ Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals and help countries use their mineral resources to support sustainable development and a just energy transition.
