Brazil ranks 11th among the world's largest economies today. Our Vision 2050 study looks at what it would take to reach 5th.

In the new episode of our Beyond Borders series on YouTube, we walk through the aspirational scenario: an economy of around USD 6 trillion by 2050, roughly double the base case. Getting there would require about 4% real growth per year for 25 years.

With an aging population, productivity is the only path, and that means moving five structural levers at once.

🔹 Where the growth could come from: agribusiness, critical minerals, green energy and biofuels, and data center capacity

🔹 Why Brazil's mineral reserves are gaining strategic weight as companies work to diversify their supply chains

🔹 What this looks like in practice, from the Aegea sanitation program in Pará to measurable gains in health and everyday living standards

🧭 Most companies have never thought about the Arctic. That is about to become a very expensive mistake.

In the new episode of our Beyond Borders series on YouTube, we look at a region where shipping economics, resource competition, security strategy, environmental urgency and indigenous rights are colliding at once.

🔹 Greenland alone holds 43 of the 50 minerals the US government classifies as critical, including rare earths at 120 times the volume mined globally in 2023

🔹 Arctic ship traffic rose by 37% between 2013 and 2023, and the Northern Sea Route can cut 10 to 15 days off the Europe to Asia journey. None of the three emerging routes is a ready alternative to the Suez Canal

🔹 Seven of the eight Arctic nations are NATO members, while the mandate of the Arctic Council excludes military security. That governance gap is one of the most consequential blind spots on the strategic agenda today

For critical minerals and defense supply chains alike, this is a Geostrategic Resilience question that is being decided now.

🌍 Where is global growth actually being created right now?

📽️ Season 2 of Beyond Borders is live on our YouTube channel. Three episodes, three regions that are redrawing the map of global growth.

🔹 The Arctic, where retreating sea ice is opening contested shipping lanes and 43 of the 50 minerals the US classifies as critical

🔹 Brazil, sitting on the world's second largest critical mineral reserves and facing one decisive choice: USD 3.3 trillion or USD 6 trillion by 2050

🔹 South East Asia, with 680 million people, the world's fourth largest integrated economy and a consumer class growing faster than in the US, the EU or China

Across all three regions, shifting supply chains are moving Geostrategic Resilience to the top of the corporate agenda.

🌿Nature is your best infrastructure. Here is why

The best infrastructure for climate risk might be the kind you never have to build.

Forests, wetlands and reefs are doing work that concrete and steel cannot. And companies are starting to put real money behind that idea.

Our new Think:Act Magazine piece explores why nature is becoming a core part of corporate resilience strategy, and what it looks like in practice.
