Ghana's Delay in Green Minerals Policy Risks Energy Transition Opportunities
STRATEGIC MINERALS
The Natural Resource Governance Institute warns that Ghana's continued delay in establishing a green minerals policy could hinder its participation in lucrative segments of the global energy transition. The policy, intended to manage critical minerals like lithium and bauxite, remains unpublished over two years after its announcement.
Decisions from 2024 to 2026 will significantly impact the country’s ability to capture value from transition minerals, as global competition intensifies. Without a clear framework, Ghana risks falling behind in investment and negotiating power.
