Canada Leads Western Nations in Climate Action, Aims for Robust Critical Minerals Sector

Jakob Stausholm, CEO of Rio Tinto, highlighted Canada's progressive stance on climate change, being a decade or two ahead of other Western nations. The company plans to deepen its investment in Canada's critical minerals sector, vital for its goal to cut carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. Canada's robust renewable energy resources and high green energy content are pivotal in attracting such investments, aligning with the nation's push to enhance its low-carbon battery industry and reduce reliance on imports, particularly from China.
