CARMEN | Critical Raw Materials Early Navigation

CARMEN | Critical Raw Materials Early Navigation

The Critical Raw Materials Early Navigation (CARMEN) Dashboard is an intelligence tool developed by the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) to help policymakers, analysts, and risk managers anticipate and respond to disruptions in the global supply of critical raw materials. Website: https://hcss.nl/carmen-critical-raw-materials-early-navigation-dashboard/ Launched in 2025, CARMEN is structured around three interconnected modules—Country Risk, Financial Risk, and Secure Supply—and is powered by daily-updated financial and geopolitical data on 87 critical materials across major sourcing countries, including Australia, Brazil, and China. CARMEN integrates indicators such as geo-economic dependencies, mining stock trends, ETFs, currency risk, and sourcing concentration. These are used to assess exposure to instability, market volatility, and potential procurement delays, offering users an early warning system for material-related shocks. At its core, CARMEN is a forward-looking, data-driven dashboard designed to enhance resilience in an era where critical raw materials have become central to geopolitics, geo-economics, national security, and defence strategy. Whether you’re navigating sourcing risks, timing market entry, or identifying policy blind spots, CARMEN provides a strategic edge in securing access to materials that underpin the green, digital, and defence transitions.
