Critical Minerals Security Programme
…conducting regular tabletop exercises (TTX) with member governments, simulating realistic supply shocks for specific materials. The exercises aim to enhance emergency preparedness, also providing a platform to test emergency response measures and explore opportunities for international cooperation. The IEA has held two major TTXs, one on graphite in 2024 and another on rare earths in 2025. Market disruption monitoring and emergency response procedure When supply disruptions occur, rapid assessment of their implications is essential to deploying effective stopgap measures. Timely market monitoring and disruption assessments provide the intelligence needed to inform decisive and well-targeted actions. An effective, data-driven...
