Name: Minerals, Metals, and Mining — What the Public Needs to Know
Start: 1749126600
End: 1749141000
Location: James A. Baker III Hall

Supply chains. “Reshoring.” Security. China. Ukraine. Competitiveness. Reindustrializing America.

These and other buzzwords have permeated the news cycle as global conversations regarding raw materials needs, requirements, challenges, opportunities, risks, and uncertainties continue to evolve. This Baker Institute event, hosted by the Center for Energy Studies’ Energy, Minerals, and Materials program, provided a public platform for the open exchange of dialogue on the role of minerals, metals, mining, and materials more broadly for energy, defense, and economic security.

This event was free and open to the public.
