Horizons Live: Securing copper supply

The world cannot decarbonise without copper. The scale of the investment required in new mine supply is well understood. But the implications for downstream processing and semi-manufacturing are often overlooked. And China dominates both these sectors.  

On this month’s Horizons Live our panel looks at what it would take to diversify copper supply from China – and why de-risking supply chains may be more about compromise than a complete decoupling.  

Our panel includes:

• Nick Pickens - Research Director, Global Mining
• Robin Griffin - Vice President, Metals and Mining Research
• Eleni Joannides - Research Director, Copper
• Gavin Thompson - Vice Chairman, Energy – Europe, Middle East & Africa

Join this event for a look at: 

• the trajectory of copper demand  
• what it would take to diversify copper supply from China 
• the potential impact on the pace and cost of the energy transition. 

Plus, a Q&A session with our report authors.
