A quarter of global emissions are tied to traded goods. To cut emissions and boost clean industry, trade policy must reward low-carbon manufacturing—not just the lowest cost. ⚙️

The Trump administration launched a Section 232 investigation into critical mineral import risks. Read our analysis of critical minerals trade data and suggestions for the path forward: clcouncil.org/blog/trade-dat…

A massive global market for advanced energy tech is emerging, driven by rising demand in developing countries. U.S. firms can still seize a share of this market, but not without urgency and strategic focus. Read more: clcouncil.org/blog/is-the-u-…

Supply chain security for critical minerals is complex—and mineral-specific. 📈 The Council’s latest trade analysis helps us see where U.S. policy must adapt to real-world market conditions.

As global investment shifts toward advanced energy technologies, the U.S. must be ready to compete. Our research outlines how foreign assistance and trade tools can better support American leadership in emerging markets.

U.S. is not currently a major producer or refiner of critical minerals, which poses an issue for domestic supply chains. Learn more about why it’s vital to stabilize access to critical minerals: buff.ly/i780w4y

The Council had a fantastic evening hosting a reception for leaders from the business, government, and policy communities. Thanks for joining us to reflect on our progress!

New data highlights the U.S. carbon advantage: industrial energy efficiency improved by 20%, compared to just 7% in BRIC and 2% in the EU. Canada and Mexico saw declines of 10% and 30%. Efficiency drives competitiveness.

Global investment in advanced energy tech has surged 53% since 2018, far outpacing fossil fuels. China is leading exports to emerging markets, widening the gap with the U.S. More on this energy shift in the latest Nexus Newsletter! buff.ly/FP5IWOS

The U.S. has cleaner production across sectors, and the data to prove it. This Council report recommends using U.S. ITC emissions data to inform CBAM default values. It’s more accurate, more representative, and better for fair trade. buff.ly/mdJebZ9

The U.S. has a strong carbon advantage. With the right policy support, U.S. firms can continue to lead in global markets. 🌍

🔧 The U.S. can’t lead on advanced energy tech without secure, resilient #supplychains. Domestic production and smarter trade policy are key to accessing the critical minerals that fuel innovation.

Reducing global emissions doesn’t have to conflict with other national priorities. In seizing the $215 trillion opportunity for global decarbonization, the U.S. could enhance its market power, spur domestic job growth, and build on its geopolitical strength.

A strong climate strategy is a strong national security strategy. The U.S. can lead in both by developing secure supplies of critical minerals.

In the Council’s latest blog, we unpack the 3 factors driving the U.S. carbon advantage: energy efficiency, the electricity mix, and direct industrial energy use. 🏭 Read more: buff.ly/cNgewg0

Global demand for critical minerals is projected to double by 2030 and quadruple by 2040. Why? These materials are crucial for economic growth and technological advancement. U.S. policymakers must work to secure supply chains to keep domestic producers competitive.
