Abstract

The sustainable use of mineral resources essential for energy storage, power generation and the transition to climate neutrality is vital. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has set the principles and requirements on sustainable resource management needed to accomplish the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its goals. To support it, the Horizon Europeโ€™s project abbreviated as GSEU is establishing the Geological Service for Europe, of which an integral part will be an EU International Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Resource Management (EU ICE SRM). This capacity building and knowledge centre will operate as a network of partners and experts to assist the decision-makers and key stakeholders in resource management.
