Excited to share our latest Global Trade Update: Policy Insights!

This edition spotlights copper’s vital role in driving the dual transition.

Smart trade policy is essential to support the value chains that rely on it.

I hope you find it useful!
Global copper demand is set to jump 40% by 2040. But supply is lagging.

Meeting it may take 80 new mines and $250B in investment.

UNCTAD’s Global Trade Update explores copper’s role in the energy & digital transition — and how smarter policies can unlock its full value.
