Greenomics – ep. 3 | Transition metals and the climate transition

A climate, sustainability and economics podcast from Oxford Economics

Transition metals and critical minerals are key ingredients in many of the most important climate technologies, from wind turbines to electric vehicles. Achieving secure, sustainable supply is therefore vital for delivering net zero emissions.

In this episode, your host Sarah Nelson is joined by Diego Cacciapuoti, Economist in Industry, and by Beatrice Tanjangco, Senior Economist in Scenarios and Macro Modelling at Oxford Economics. We discuss the risks, opportunities and trade-offs that transition metals pose for supplying countries and the climate transition.
