THE STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE
A Defining Moment for the Global South
The Global South and BRICS nations hold the world's most critical mineral reserves — PGMs, rare earths, lithium, manganese, copper — essential for the 4th Industrial Revolution and the energy transition. Yet the same inequitable paradigm persists: raw ore exports, finished goods imports, ceding value and industrial sovereignty. The GMS-BRICS Critical Minerals Summit exists to change that.
