The ongoing race among superpowers like the US, China, and Europe to secure access to critical minerals such as cobalt, lithium, and rare-earth elements poses serious threats to global stability. Demand for these minerals is expected to quadruple by 2040 due to their essential role in clean energy technologies. The US has initiated aggressive domestic mining policies, while China maintains a firm grip on critical mineral supply chains. The struggle for resources has led to increased risks of conflict and illicit activities in mineral-rich regions, especially in Africa.
