Shortages of certain minerals could limit global climate mitigation strategies says research in
@natclimate.nature.com. These minerals are essential for the decarbonisation of energy systems and ensuring less than 1.5 °C or 2 °C of global warming above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

Navigating energy transition solutions for climate targets with minerals constraint - Nature Climate Change
The decarbonization of energy systems requires access to minerals that are critical for manufacturing low-carbon technologies. Here researchers show that meeting climate targets could be impeded by material shortages, revealing the importance of diverse solutions that balance mitigation, equity and resource constraints.
