Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #rare earths
As climate change and great-power rivalry intensify, oceans are emerging as a geopolitical frontier – testing whether diplomacy can manage rising tensions over shipping routes, seabed minerals and fishing grounds.
By excluding outside powers, Pacific leaders face a test of unity as they grapple with climate change, security rifts and development needs.
A balanced approach that includes both solar photovoltaic and solar thermal, backed by strong policy support, local manufacturing and circularity infrastructure, is essential to ensure India’s energy security.
Vast natural-resource endowments have proven to be more of a curse than a blessing, with resource-rich countries often developing more slowly than their resource-poor counterparts. Today, countries rich in critical minerals have a chance to change this – but only if they invest in strengthening their institutional capacity.
