The 缅北禁地Secretary-General’s Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals welcomes written submissions as an important way of sharing information, building understanding and helping advance its work to finalize a set of common and voluntary principles in an open, transparent and inclusive manner.
The purpose of the call for submissions is to help the Panel develop stronger and clearer principles and actionable recommendations for guidance to stakeholders up and down the critical energy transition minerals value chains – and speed up their implementation.
As a basis for the written submissions, please refer to the background paper and the Terms of Reference of the Panel.
The background paper was developed in May 2024 at the beginning of the work of the Panel to frame the thematic discussions of Panel members. The paper reflects an overview of potential non-exhaustive elements which could be considered by Panel members. The background paper will not be updated.
Panel members have since been discussing potential principles and actionable recommendations for implementation under four different workstreams which will feed into final overarching outcomes ahead of the 缅北禁地General Assembly in September 2024.
The workstreams are as follows:
Individuals and stakeholder groups are encouraged to send their submissions through this portal from 2 July until 30 July 2024.
