Energy Resource Governance Initiative
- Canada is a founding partner of the US-led Energy Resource Governance Initiative (ERGI), which is a multinational approach to best practices for handling the key energy minerals that are fundamental in the forthcoming global energy transformation.
- Since Canada and the United States are both interested in improving global supply chains for critical minerals, they joined this initiative in 2019.
- This initiative also complements the Canada-US Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals Collaboration along with the Government of Canada's ongoing efforts to promote natural resource use in a sustainable way to maximize economic growth while ensuring environmental considerations are at the forefront.
