日本語
本稿は、リチウムやコバルト、レアアースなどの戦略的鉱物の需要増加が地政学的競争を激化させていると指摘。特にEUの中国依存を分析し、域内採掘・リサイクル強化や国際協力による供給多様化の必要性を強調する。2040年までに鉱物需要が150%増加する見通しで、資源安全保障と気候目標の両立には持続可能な鉱業と循環経済が不可欠と論じる。
English
This paper reviews the geopolitical competition over strategic minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths, focusing on the EU's dependence on China. It highlights the need for supply diversification, domestic mining, recycling, and international cooperation. With demand expected to grow 150% by 2060, it argues that resource independence and climate goals require global collaboration and sustainable mining practices.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Mineral raw materials are vital for economic growth, national security, and global influence. Rising demand for strategic minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths fuels geopolitical competition, especially amid energy transition and tech advances. This study reviews the global mineral market, focusing on the EU’s production strengths and vulnerabilities, notably its dependence on China, which dominates critical raw materials extraction and processing. China’s geopolitical use of these minerals has led major economies—including the US, Japan, and EU—to adopt policies securing alternative supplies via domestic exploration, recycling, and international cooperation. The EU’s initiatives, such as the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA. https://erma.eu/), aim to reduce non-EU reliance, boost local mining and processing, and support a circular economy. Urgent action is needed to diversify supply chains, invest in sustainable mining, and improve recycling. With critical mineral demand expected to grow 150% by 2060, resource independence and climate goals require global collaboration and innovation.
