The Global Race for Critical Minerals

Join the World Affairs Council of Connecticut for a virtual event on critical minerals!

China. Defense. AI. Energy. The resources powering global competition.

Critical minerals are becoming a defining fault line in global security. From advanced weapons and defense systems to AI, energy, and emerging technologies, access to these resources is increasingly tied to national power and security.

Gracelin Baskaran, Director of the CSIS Critical Minerals Security Program, and Michael Winter, RTX Chief Scientist, join the Global Security Forum: Fault Lines to explore China’s role in global mineral supply chains, the global competition to secure critical resources, and what it means for U.S. security, industry, and technological leadership.
