Copper - The Pathway to Net Zero

The International Copper Association (ICA) and the European Copper Institute (ECI) invite you to join the conversation on the copper industry's pathway to Net Zero.

Copper is a strategic raw material for the clean energy transition and global copper demand is expected to double by 2050, given its widespread use in decarbonisation technologies. It is therefore important to ensure the availability of low-carbon, sustainable copper to meet this need.

The International Copper Association and the European Copper Institute invite policymakers and interested stakeholders to join the launch of their global decarbonisation roadmap, Copper – The Pathway to Net Zero to discuss the challenges and opportunities of decarbonizing copper production.

How fast can copper production be decarbonized globally and in the EU?

What are the main technologies for doing so?

What challenges remain on the road to Net Zero and how can these be overcome?

How can the EU’s regulatory framework support this transition?

These are some of the questions that the event will address.

We will have the pleasure of hearing from:

• Kerstin Jorna, Director General at the European Commission for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs
• Inger Andersen, Executive Director, UN Environment Programme (video message)
• Radan Kanev, Member of the European Parliament
• Mette Quinn, Head of Unit for Policy coordination and International carbon markets, European Commission, DG Climate Action
• Marie Christine von Hahn, Vice President Corporate External Affairs, Aurubis
• Daniel Peltonen, President, Boliden Smelters
• Ursula Woodburn, Director Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership Europe, Corporate Leader Group Europe

Please confirm your participation as soon as possible. Places are limited.
