Critical minerals have become essential to the functioning of modern economies and the global transition toward low-carbon energy systems. From renewable energy technologies and advanced manufacturing to defense systems and digital infrastructure, access to secure and resilient mineral supply chains is now a defining challenge of economic and geopolitical strategy.

This volume brings together foundational policy documents, institutional analyses, and strategic assessments to examine the full lifecycle of critical minerals, from geological identification and unconventional resource extraction to supply chain development, international agreements, and workforce capacity building. It provides a comprehensive overview of how critical minerals are defined, governed, and managed within the United States and in coordination with global partners.
