The strategy also has a glaring blind spot on the need for the UK to reduce its demand for critical minerals overall.
While the strategy claims to be reducing the UKβs reliance on imports, this is impossible if we continue to massively increase our demand.

We need a transformation away from the typical free-trade arsenal so global south countries can protect their industrial policy space, and ensure any mineral extraction causes the least harm possible.
