Resource Volatility – Opportunity Ahead

Wednesday, 11th March, 2026
12:00 – 14:00

Summary

Join us for an insightful presentation exploring how tightening capital investment across global resource and energy systems is reshaping market dynamics. As demand rises across sectors such as artificial intelligence, defence, and economic growth, persistent underinvestment in upstream energy and critical mineral supply chains is increasing the likelihood of market volatility — while also creating new strategic opportunities for developers, investors, and policymakers navigating the evolving global energy landscape.

  • The relationship between resource access and global economic growth in shaping energy systems.
  • The evolving reality of the energy transition as a process of energy addition rather than substitution.
  • Strategic implications of increased demand for commodities, metals, and minerals amid constrained capital expenditure.
