Our world today has a clear mandate. If we are to secure a habitable future for human life on Earth, we must act swiftly and collectively to halve all greenhouse gas emissions by the mid-2030s. This will enable us to limit the rise in global temperature to under 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. Achieving this goal will require a rapid transition to a low carbon global economy.

Aluminium’s inherent versatility and recyclability - a relatively unique combination of essential characteristics – has placed it at the forefront of the push to decarbonise key industries, lending it the sobriquet of ‘The Metal of the Future.’
