Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #rare earths
The race to secure critical minerals has intensified at the same time as the international community has recognised the need for more sustainable and responsible mining practices. Translating the resulting frameworks and guidelines into concrete action will require consolidating Global South policy and advocacy networks.
Mineral security is not just about access to resources but about control over value chains. India’s response must be strategic, not reactive.
The World Bank has made a volte-face on industrial policy. Southeast Asian countries will need to consider the new policy, but calibrate it across vastly different national contexts.
A system built on renewables introduces new risks, as critical bottlenecks shift to refining, processing, and mineral-supply chains.
