Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The extreme weather threatens global metal supplies, potentially impacting up to 25% of mine supply depending on the asset class. Since mining operations are highly energy- and water-intensive, extreme weather can trigger infrastructure failures and localized logistics crises.
