The following session has been organised by the International Committee of the Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law.

Proponents argue that the potential economic and societal gains and the transformative impact of AI outweigh its resulting rise in energy demands and the growing need for greater critical mineral mining and production. These demands challenge our ability to meet sustainability and climate change goals. This session will feature panellists on each side of the debate. Please join us for a healthy discussion involving experts who will address practical pathways which can be taken to meet sustainability demands while they simultaneously navigating the challenges and opportunities presented by AI.
