In a world of fluctuating commodity prices, funding transformative decarbonisation projects presents significant challenges. This panel brings together industry leaders, financial experts , government representatives and policymakers to explore innovative strategies for financing decarbonisation while balancing economic viability and sustainability.

- What strategies are miners adopting for allocating capital to decarbonisation initiatives while ensuring operational and financial stability?
- How can government funding mechanisms (e.g.,Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), ARENA, CEFC, etc.) complement private financing to accelerate decarbonisation initiatives?
- What opportunities exist for mining companies to tap into green loans, sustainability-linked bonds, and other ESG-focused financing tools?
- How do the growing demand and strategic importance of critical minerals for the energy transition impact financing strategies for decarbonisation projects?
- What are some real-world examples from mining companies that have secured funding through innovative financial strategies, government partnerships, and private investment?
