We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequences of this result, especially in relation to the C1-conjecture. We also provide evidence that supports the conjecture in dimension 3 for C1 fields of characteristic 0.
