Sustainable Mining and Energy Transition: Unlocking Investments and Fostering Brazil’s Potentialities in the Sector

November 6, 2025

Sustainable Mining and Energy Transition: Unlocking Investments and Fostering Brazil’s Potentialities in the Sector. Recognizing the central role of critical minerals in enabling the energy and digital transitions, this roundtable will explore innovative financial mechanisms and strategies to accelerate sustainable mining projects in Brazil. Bringing together industry leaders, investors, and policymakers, the discussion will focus on what is needed—from a corporate and regulatory standpoint—to unlock investment, streamline project implementation, and strengthen Brazil’s position in global minerals value chains.

The session will also present key findings from the study “Brazil’s Role in the Global Agenda of Strategic and Critical Minerals”, highlighting how Brazil can move from potential to practice by developing midstream and downstream capabilities, fostering technological innovation, and aligning sustainability goals with competitiveness in the energy transition.

The roundtable is organized in partnership with the Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS), Cenergia/COPPE/UFRJ, CETEM, and SGB, sponsored by BHP and Vale, and supported by BMA Advogados.

 

As part of the Sustainable Innovation Forum 2025, one of the leading platforms for discussion and mobilization among private sector, innovation, and finance leaders, in support of the COP30 Presidency’s commitment to turn promises into concrete actions.
