Summary.

Oceania's raw materials supply chains face vulnerabilities from heavy external processing reliance, with Australia lacking domestic refining capacity for its rare earth reserves. The U.S.–Australia Framework injects over US$3 billion for critical minerals, aiming to establish sovereign supply chains and buffer against geopolitical tensions.

Climate-induced disruptions threaten up to 68% of Australia's lithium production by 2050. Strengthening regional collaboration, expanding processing capacity, and strategic foresight on climate resilience are vital. Investments in digitalization and governance models drive long-term autonomy, positioning Oceania as a resilient, global supplier.
