# The World Wildlife Fund South Africa says sustainable development of a transition minerals industry could not be more pertinent as South Africa prepares to host the G20 nations later this year. The World Bank estimates that there will be a 500-percent increase in demand for minerals such as graphite and lithium by 2050, to meet the needs of the global just transition to a new energy order. WWF SA says the race is on to secure the minerals required for an energy transition away from fossil fuels to a low-carbon future.
