The Center for Strategic Resources and Territorial Development Studies and the Argentine Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEADS) are advancing a partnership aimed at generating knowledge, building capabilities and creating spaces for dialogue so that strategic resources contribute effectively to the sustainable development of territories. The initiative brings together business experience and a sustainable development perspective with a territorial approach, paying particular attention to the challenges and opportunities associated with energy, mining, critical minerals and other strategic resources. Its purpose is to promote a perspective that goes beyond resource availability and investment, asking how these opportunities can be transformed into local capabilities, value chains, employment, innovation, stronger institutions and lasting value for territories and their communities.
