Countries are committing to policies or targets that contribute to decarbonizing the global mineral supply chains and facilitate their steady and secure supply, while integrating an ESG approach to managing the mineral-technology supply chains. This page showcases the range of policy instruments that are available to governments that can in turn help industries and consumers lower emissions and energy usage in different mineral-technology supply chains for a truly green energy transition.

The policy sunburst contains information on key policy areas and examples of how these are being introduced in countries across different supply chains. The tool is composed of four categories:

The Policy Action Areas were selected based on the four pillars of the Climate-Smart Mining Framework of the World Bank's Climate-Smart Mining Initiative.

First, click on a Policy Action Area to refine your search into a specific theme and sub-theme. With each click, an explanation of the category and what it includes will appear on the right. You will then reach the country policies pertaining to the theme that you have refined at the end of the sunburst where you can see details of the policies that countries have introduced and links to further information.
