Report: Increased need for metals and minerals – strategies, conflicts of objectives and interests

Sweden needs a new mineral strategy to manage the increased extraction of metals and minerals that the transition to a fossil-free and sustainable society entails. The strategy needs to take the increased demands as a starting point and manage the conflicts of objectives and interests that these entail. Not least, communities with mining operations need to be better compensated than they currently are. This is concluded in this report, which is the third of four from IVA's project Roadmap for Metals and Minerals.
