Guardian's editorial on BRICS inspired by us? "The postwar order stood on three pillars: US dominance, hydrocarbons and open trade. Today,all 3 are cracking" theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Read @kmac @polycrisis first for analysis, that's read by millions :)

“The postwar geopolitical order rested on three pillars: American hegemony, the fossil-fuel energy system, and an open, multilateral trading order. America has now attacked each pillar at the foundation of its hydrocarbon global order.”

New dispatch alert: #China has made advances in green #energy, manufacturing, and non-dollar trade. But for BRICS, moving away from the #dollar in #trade & finance still remains the biggest challenge.

"For the first time in two centuries, the West is no longer the leader in future technology, but the follower."
That's the key thread in the excellent new @polycrisis piece on the BRICS in 2025 phenomenalworld.org/analysis…
BRICS export ties with the #US have weakened since 2000, except for #India.
While others pulled back, India’s exports to the US have quietly grown.
More on this in our latest edition.⤵️

BRICS is transforming. #Fossil Fuels now account for less than half of the bloc’s total electricity generation.

The liberal trading order has been weaponized; security, not efficiency, is the new watchword. Yet fragmentation narratives belie resilience. New from @70sBachchan and me at @polycrisis @phenomenalworld phenomenalworld.org/analysis…

“Coverage was dismissive of BRICS ahead of its August meeting. But a vast gulf separates the Western commentariat from Western policymakers.”

Can “mobilising the trillions” of private capital save the world? @advaitarun_ explores what institutional investors can actually do in the latest @polycrisis essay
phenomenalworld.org/analysis…
The Polycrisis retweeted
The biggest problem in climate finance today is not derisking per se. It's that policymakers' insist on "unlocking" the private sector in emerging markets without making any efforts to fix the global financial system that warps how investment flows in the first place.
The Polycrisis retweeted
The problem with "mobilizing private capital" to fight climate change in the Global South is that it's way harder than policymakers make it sound. Institutional investors can't do it!
I'm back in @phenomenalworld's @polycrisis series to explain why not:
