        2026 IEA Ministerial Declaration Supporting the IEA’s Work on Critical Minerals Security

        297th Meeting of the IEA Governing Board at Ministerial Level The International Energy Agency (IEA) Governing Board, at Ministerial Level, has adopted the following Ministerial Declaration:1. We, the IEA Ministers, recognise the strategic importance of critical minerals. We commend the significant progress made by the IEA under the voluntary Critical Minerals Security Programme, such as the Critical Minerals Information Dashboard, particularly as access to these minerals is being used as a means of exerting leverage and control over global supply chains. We call for continued work on these efforts, and direct the IEA Secretariat as a key international platform…
