Bridging continents: the Africa-Europe partnership for Critical Raw Materials

The Pardon My Planet podcast presents a special series, “Bridging Continents: The Africa-Europe partnership for Critical Raw Materials”, which explores the collaboration between Africa and Europe in building sustainable and equitable mining practices. Discover how geopolitics, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, and financing opportunities are vital to secure critical raw materials sustainably.

Securing the access to raw materials represents a critical issue for the European ambition to deliver the Green Deal and perform the energy and digital twin transition. AfricaMaVal aims to build an EU and Africa business networking on the whole CRM value chains.

AfricaMaVal is a 42-month project gathering 18 partners from 11 countries. It is coordinated by BRGM, the French Geological Survey. The consortium gathers African and European experienced organisations, associations, and networks deeply anchored and involved in the raw material domain with specific expertise, and knowledge.
