for the critical minerals program
Resources for the Future’s mission is to improve environmental, energy, and natural resource decisions through impartial economic research and policy engagement. Its program on transition minerals is focused on providing rigorous policy research, with an emphasis on both the economic dimensions of critical minerals challenges and the inherent interdisciplinarity of the issues. In particular, the organization plans to study the implications of the high upfront costs of expanding critical mineral supplies, the necessity of increased international cooperation in addressing critical minerals supply issues, challenges posed by critical mineral supply chains, and opportunities provided by technological innovation and increased mineral demand flexibility.

for general operating support
Resources for the Future (RFF) works to improve environmental, energy, and natural resource decisions through impartial economic research and policy engagement. Securing a stable climate requires a wholesale transition of our energy systems and other economic sectors. RFF’s understanding of the economic system and the behaviors underpinning it is necessary to support this transition. Its 2023-2024 priorities include supporting strong implementation of federal climate investments, promoting an equitable transition, and supporting strong climate, trade, and industrial policy.
