Australia joined critical minerals alliance

Australia signed up to the Sustainable Critical Minerals Alliance in 2022. The alliance is a group led by Canada that asks members to support mining and processing of critical minerals, such as rare earths, in a more responsible way. The goals include protecting nature, respecting Indigenous and local communities, improving labour standards, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and pushing toward net-zero emissions by 2050. It also encourages recycling and reuse of critical minerals so fewer new mines are needed.

Government backed clean energy finance

In 2025, Australia passed the Future Made in Australia legislation, which created tax incentives for hydrogen production and critical minerals processing. The policy includes a refundable tax offset for eligible hydrogen and a 10% tax incentive for eligible spending on processing and refining minerals like lithium and nickel. The wider policy was funded with AU$22.7 billion in the 2024–25 Budget and another AU$3.2 billion in the 2025–26 Budget. It is meant to support lower-emission industry and a cleaner energy system.

Australia backed Paris goals

Twelve peak financial bodies in Australia issued a joint statement supporting the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. They said that limiting climate change makes financial sense and called for continued support for a net-zero economy. The statement pointed to estimates that global GDP could be higher if emissions fall steadily to net zero. It also noted that investment in the net-zero transition reached AU$3.3 trillion in the last year. This shows strong policy and finance support for climate action in Australia.

Australia and Canada on supply chains

Australia and Canada agreed in 2024 to work together on critical minerals supply chains. Their joint statement focused on better transparency and traceability, which means being able to follow where minerals come from and how they are handled. The two countries also said they wanted stronger ESG standards, better engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and more cooperation on trade, research, and investment. This is meant to make critical minerals markets more resilient and more responsible.
