One of the most pressing questions in the realm of global energy transition is, “How should we ensure a secure, sufficient, and sustainable lithium supply?” This discussion encompasses multifaceted aspects, including production, investment, and regulation, which require a collective effort from diverse stakeholders. Our goal is to foster a comprehensive and well-rounded conversation that considers tradeoffs from multiple perspectives by bringing together key players from various sectors to encourage an inclusive and open dialogue that delves into the complexities and challenges of lithium supply and its impact on the energy transition.
Join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International Public Affairs (CGEP) and Columbia Electrochemical Energy Center (CEEC) along with other influential figures across the battery supply chain, environmental groups, civil society stakeholders, and analytical experts.

The Biden administration has stressed that building domestic electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling capacity is necessary to achieve critical material supply chain resilience and to meet the US energy transition goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Without an increase in the supply of critical minerals, there is no pathway to meet the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C temperature rise limit, as they are essential components of many clean energy technologies ranging from solar panels to wind turbines to electric vehicles and storage batteries.
The United States, one of the world’s two largest greenhouse gas emitters, will require reliable critical mineral supply for technologies associated with the energy transition.
