Mining & Metals Scenarios to 2030
In 2030, the world is divided and countries are defined economically
by whether or not they belong to the Green Trade Alliance (GTA),
formed in 2016
Environmental standards are used as the basis for
protectionist measures by GTA countries
In 2030, the world is committed to realising the benefits of global
interconnection but has become far more complex and multipolar.
Power comes from control of resources as well as possession
of capital, with resource-rich countries playing by their own rules.
Economic power is held both by markets where there is strong
demand – such as the EU, the US, China, Brazil and India – and
by countries that control strategically important resources
In 2030, the era of globalisation is a distant memory as nations
prioritise narrow self-interest.
They hoard domestic resources, enter cartels based on regional
and ideological alliances and resource blocs, and engage in
neo-colonialism and import substitution strategies.
How have the Mining & Metals Scenarios to 2030 been developed ?
The Mining & Metals Scenarios to 2030 have been developed through a year-long process which has brought together over 200 stakeholders from the private sector, government, academia and international and non-governmental organizations in numerous discussions and face-to-face and virtual workshops (Figure 2).
Will markets be free or controlled ?
The extent to which by 2030 governments might intervene to regulate markets and decide upon the use of resources is highly uncertain. At a global level, it is unclear whether the free market paradigm or the controlled-market paradigm will prevail

A countries wealth will be based on, resources.
Govt's may intervene to control resources by 2030 - uncertain.
Now ask,

Are standing Govt's making the decisions ?
Or... consulting firms ?
Is Canada managing it's own resources or taking advisement ?
Where are our energy minerals routing to ?
