<p>India placed critical minerals, resilience-building and Global South priorities at the centre of its G20 2025 agenda, as member nations endorsed the G20 Critical Minerals Framework, a voluntary blueprint designed to strengthen sustainable and transparent value chains. The summit declaration underlined that rapid digitisation, clean-energy transitions and industrial shifts are pushing global demand for critical minerals sharply higher, even as many producer nations struggle with underinvestment, limited technology and minimal value addition.</p>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><h2><strong>G20 2025: Blueprint for sustainable mineral value chains</strong></h2>
<p>The Critical Minerals Framework aims to ensure that mineral-rich developing countries — especially in the Global South — benefit from their resources through local processing, improved governance and stronger environmental safeguards. It seeks to unlock exploration investments, promote domestic beneficiation and establish stable, transparent mineral markets that can withstand geopolitical or supply-chain shocks.</p>
<p>The declaration also reaffirmed the sovereign right of mineral-endowed countries to utilise their resources for inclusive economic growth, while ensuring community participation, environmental protection and long-term economic resilience.</p>
<h2><strong>Push for diversification and supply-chain security</strong></h2>
<p>Member nations committed to promoting diversified sources, routes, markets and processing locations to reduce vulnerabilities exposed by recent global disruptions. The framework encourages collaboration among governments, industry, investors, financial institutions and local communities to build value chains that are more resilient to natural disasters, trade restrictions, pandemics or geopolitical tensions.</p>
<h2><strong>PM Modi calls for stronger disaster preparedness and clean-energy cooperation</strong></h2>
<p>Addressing a dedicated session on resilience, disaster risk reduction and climate change, PM Modi emphasised that the world must shift from a response-centric to a development-centric approach to disaster management. He highlighted India’s initiative to create the G20 Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group, first launched during the country’s 2023 presidency.</p>
<p>PM Modi also proposed a G20 Open Satellite Data Partnership to enhance access to satellite data for countries in the Global South, improving early-warning systems and climate planning. Reaffirming India’s clean-energy goals, he called for global cooperation on climate finance, technology access and capacity-building to accelerate secure, sustainable transitions.</p>
<h2><strong>How will the new G20 Critical Minerals Framework reshape global value chains?</strong></h2>
<p>India also introduced the G20 Critical Minerals Circularity Initiative, aimed at boosting recycling, urban mining and second-life battery use to reduce dependency on primary mining. PM Modi said the initiative could enable shared standards, joint research and pilot recycling facilities across the Global South, offering both environmental and economic benefits.</p>
<h2><strong>Food security, agriculture and the Deccan Principles</strong></h2>
<p>PM Modi voiced concern over climate-linked stresses on global agriculture, warning that farmers worldwide face mounting challenges in accessing fertiliser, credit, technology and markets. He underscored India’s food security and insurance programmes, including the world’s largest crop insurance scheme, and called for a G20 roadmap based on the Deccan Principles agreed in New Delhi last year.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister stressed that resilience cannot be pursued in silos. He urged G20 members to adopt integrated strategies connecting climate action, nutrition, public health, sustainable agriculture and disaster preparedness. With Africa hosting the G20 for the first time, he reiterated that global development parameters must be reevaluated through an inclusive lens.</p>
