SUMMARY:IRTC-Business virtual workshop and Round Table
DESCRIPTION:Building resilient economies – the role of policy\nIRTC-Business virtual workshop and Round Table\, November 17\, 2020\nIn the framework of the European Commission’s Raw Materials Week \n Mitigation actions for raw materials supply risks range from those that are effective on a company level to those that necessitate coordinated government action. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that companies’ ranges of action can be limited when it comes to large-scale disruptions on a global scale. Firms can hardly protect their supply chains from events of global magnitudes. \nThe probability of supply disruptions is difficult to predict due to its dynamic nature and the wide range of potentially relevant supply risk factors. However\, the study of supply risk factors can help to identify vulnerabilities of current global economic systems. In order to mitigate potential risks\, it can be helpful to focus on the development of more resilient supply chains that have a lower vulnerability to large-scale disruptions and distortions. There is a role of both companies and policymakers to anticipate possible bottlenecks and find solutions to mitigate supply disruptions in mid or long-term time frames to limit economic and social damage. \nIn times of crises\, governments take a more decisive role\, and their actions can have an essential impact on industry operations. How can the possibility of such global crises be anticipated in risk management\, and how can these risks be effectively mitigated for vulnerable industries\, while also balancing requirements for economic competitiveness? How can favourable framework conditions for risk mitigation be put in place in order to facilitate industry initiatives? \nIn the first part\, various international experts in the field share their experiences and valuations of the COVID crises’ influence on critical raw materials dynamics and the consequent impact on industries and society. In the second part\, two expert groups will discuss the role of policy-making for raw material risk mitigation and possible ways forward from a policy and industry perspective. The groups will then reconvene to discuss the results in the plenary. The audience is invited to actively participate with questions\, comments and any additional insights. \nThe meeting will take place via Zoom. Registration is mandatory.
